The uneven ratios in those top three are due to massive populations of second class immigrant laborers, often slave laborers.

Aaahh thank you. I was scratching my head over that one.

And I guess it makes sense that Qatar was top because they recently had to build a whole bunch of stadiums and infrastructure to a tight deadline. But that's all cool because Messi got a medal so yay.

So, it was worth it 😅

There are still imbalance issues in massive countries like China and India, and the last thing I want is a bunch of frustrated men in a capitalist dystopia (= fascism pretty much). The number I see from a quick search is around 70 million more men than women in India and China (https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2018/world/too-many-men/). They need to figure this shit out quickly. And it can't just be let women from other countries immigrate because then the countries that they left will also have an imbalance. I'm not sure how to deal with this issue.

They could just send their excess men to the disputed border where they can just hit each other with sticks.

That is the traditional solution, the alternative being insurrection. Sitting governments, for obvious reasons, generally choose your option.

Did they all come from Djibouti?

[–] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago

They came from south asia where that amount of people isn't even a drop in the bucket.

[–] digdilem@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Yes, that was my first thought as I know Qatar has a huge population of immigrant workers from Bangladesh and other countries, all of which are male.

[–] dylanTheDeveloper@lemmy.world 57 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You telling me I should move to dabootie

[–] qooqie@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I think out of all the options from the bottom category Hong Kong would be the nicest

[–] netburnr@lemmy.world 37 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Was. Until, you know, China...

[–] qooqie@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

People are still nice tho, and food is still real good. I believe the city itself is really safe(?) not entirely sure.

[–] Zaphod@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 1 year ago

the city itself is really safe(?)

As long as you are no protester

Lithuania seems nice. EU & NATO member, and one of the few countries that recognize Taiwan.

You think the potato thing is real about Latvia? The Baltics rock.

[–] AbeilleVegane@beehaw.org 46 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can't believe my native country, Hong Kong Latvia Lithuania Russia Ukraine, is represented here!

[–] cRazi_man@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

I love your flag. Looks like it would make a great table runner.

I didn't need this image to know that it's a bottom country.

It says excluding Vatican City, which makes sense, but it just makes me want to know how bad the ratio is for there.

[–] intothemild@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Well if you have the ratio of priests to children...

So is it abortion, infanticide, emigration or premature death of females? All of the above? No way that could be natural.

[–] Hyperreality@kbin.social 47 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

In Qatar's case it's in large part due to immigration. Loads of young men for the building industry, for example.

Population size more than tripled from early 2000 to mid 2010s.

[–] Thisfox@sopuli.xyz 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That and gender-based rights and wages...

[–] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Right… next to no women are moving there if they have a say in the matter

What's going on in Latvia and Lithuania?

[–] roguetrick@kbin.social 23 points 1 year ago

They're EU member states, and men are migrating for work.

[–] Abraxiel@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Seeing a lot of post-soviet states on here, I'm guessing the life-expectancy drop following the USSR's collapse affected men more than women.

[–] uralsolo@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

lotta suicide, lotta stochastic violence especially in the 90s.

[–] sexy_peach@feddit.de 13 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Wait how do I have to read this? Does Qatar have 3.39 men for every woman????

[–] 14th_cylon@lemm.ee 57 points 1 year ago

Yes. Modern slave work in construction is the root cause.

[–] mrgreyeyes@feddit.nl 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Would you stay there if you were a woman?

Yeah, I had to resort to the numbers and rereading to work it out, meaning the visualisation art is pretty much useless.

Its one of those "let's look at how they treat men and women in these countries" situations too.

That's a weird way to spell "slaves"

[–] Bonehead@kbin.social 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Involuntarily unpaid migrant labour, technically.
