Oh this is quite interesting as I can see factors that influence a conclusion you can draw from male/female ratios in countries...
Males have a higher birth rate on average but, we have a higher death rate.
In undeveloped and unstable countries the results typically lead to a population ratio that'll look something like 52% female 48% male overall.
And once you get in good child care, schools to keep teen boys busy and medical care we see the shift towards the opposite 52% male and 48% female. Closer to the actual average birth rate.
This of course doesn't include some areas after major wars or genocide where the make population is targeted, it happens.
But...males are most likely to be immigrant workers (at least that count. I doubt women tricked or captured into sex slavery -they'd have the higher number there- would make that statistics)
So, the ratio can also be greatly effected by (off the top of my head) factors of: location compareitivly to somewhere with significant poverty or lower wages, available jobs, wok immigration policy.
To really set some of this data out... Countries directly bordering these nations. And, comparing to the country from which there highest work immigrants come from. Have they shifted drastically the other direction?
