(#3) It Is Estimated Only One In Four Chinese Men Will Ever Get Married In 2030
China's one-child policy has had a detrimental impact on the country's female population. In his book The Demographic Future, Nicholas Eberstadt wrote about the policy's consequences:
"China will face a growing number of young men who will never marry due to the country’s one-child policy, which has resulted in a reported birth ratio of almost 120 boys for every 100 girls…By 2030, projections suggest that more than 25% of Chinese men in their late 30s will never have married. The coming marriage squeeze will likely be even more acute in the Chinese countryside, since the poor, uneducated and rural population will be more likely to lose out in the competition for brides."

Males may outnumber females by about 12,000 right now in Sweden, but those figures are expected to climb.

In 2015, it was determined that the greatest gender imbalance was found in the Arabian Peninsula. The biggest gap was found within the United Arab Emirates, with females making up only about one quarter of the population. That area of the world became a hotbed for migrant workers in the '70s after the rise in oil prices.

(#1) The Global Gender Gap Is Mostly Due To China And India
According to the World Bank, men currently outnumber women on a global level by 66 million. That astronomical number marks the highest gap ever recorded. One of the main reasons for this trend is because of India and China's societal obsession with producing sons. While most countries in the world still have more women than men, India and China - the two most populated countries in the world - are enough to totally tip the scale. China has 42 million more men than women. India has 48 million more men than women. Just these two countries account for 75% of the world's gender imbalance.
