India's 2024 population is 1.44 billion, with 743.39 million men and 698.29 million women. This translates to 51.56% men and 48.44% women. The sex ratio is 951 women per 1000 men, a concerning statistic. Traditionally, early marriages ensured shared responsibilities and a fulfilling life.

Global Perspective:

Globally, 105 boys are born for every 100 girls. Factors like life expectancy and migration influence ratios. Moldova, Latvia, Armenia, and Russia have the highest female populations, according to a UN report.

Moldova's population is 53.98% female, yet faces gender equality challenges, with women calling for better job opportunities and shared domestic responsibilities.

Latvia's population is 53.68% female, with a younger demographic. Male smoking contributes to lower life expectancy. Armenia's population is 53.61% female due to male emigration for work.

Like Russia, Ukraine has a higher female population (53.50%), with 60% of women holding higher education degrees. Georgia (53.4%), Belarus (53.4%), Lithuania (52.85%), Tonga (52.59%), and Serbia (52.51%) also have more women than men. Finding a girlfriend might be easier abroad.
