The population of the Earth is steadily increasing. In 1987, its number reached 5 billion people, and now this value has exceeded the mark of 7 billion. According to the UN, today on the planet men - 50.4%, women - 49.6%. At the beginning of 2014, the difference was 0.8%, i.e. there are approximately 62 million more men in the world than women. Last year, this difference was approximately 5 million less.
According to some forecasts, the world's population will very soon reach 10 billion, mainly due to the large increase in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Since the birth of boys is welcomed in these countries (and is fanatically controlled by abortion, etc.), it is likely that the global preponderance towards the strong half of humanity will continue. For example, already in this generation, 50 million Chinese men under the age of 35 will not be able to find a wife. Despite the fact that in European countries in a certain age group there are more women than men.
Is patriarchy coming?
According to many years of observations, in the world the average ratio of born boys and girls is 106: 100. In China, there are 117 boys and 132. In India, there are 132. As for Russia, 142.9 million people (according to the 2010 census) are male the country's population was 46.6%, with an average ratio of 114: 100. However, within the country this value varies depending on geographic and economic indicators.
