If this is caused by a large percentage of migrant workers, do we see any other countries that have more females in the same age range? My thinking is, if the male migrant workers all left their countries to work elsewhere, we should see more females in those places. However I don't think I've ever seen a population graph showing this

Perhaps but I think one thing to realize is that the countries that the migrant workers come from are for the most part far far more populated. The country that sends the most migrant workers is india, and the 5-6 million that they send represents a huge slice of the population in places like Qatar, UAE, etc but are less than 1% of indias own population
