The ratio between the number of males and females in a society is referred to as the gender ratio. This ratio is not stable but instead shaped by biological, social, technological, cultural, and economic forces. And in turn the gender ratio itself has an impact on society, demography, and the economy. In this entry we provide an overview of the variation and the changes of the gender ratio across the world. We study how it changes from birth to late life; the forces that change the ratio of men to women. The sex ratio — the share of the population that is female — varies across the world. And globally in the share of women in the world was In the map we see the sex ratio of populations: this is shown as the percentage of the total population which is female. Countries over 50 percent shown in blue have more females than males; those below 50 percent shown in red have fewer females.

Half of year-olds have a smartphone and ownership doubles between the ages of nine and 10, according to the regulator, Ofcom.

Are you a teenage boy who has felt confused by what MeToo means for you? Do you ask yourself questions like: When is it OK to make the first move? What does consent look like in the moment?

Rossi, who sneaked into a North Tonawanda house July 6 to have sex with a year-old girl but was shot in the leg when her father caught him, was sentenced Friday to two years in prison for third-degree rape.
