In 1960 there were 100 men in the UAE for every 100 women. In 2010 there were 240 men for every 100 women. http://knoema.com/atlas/United-Arab-Emirates/topics/Demographics/Population/Sex-ratio …
Why is it bad when sex ratios are way off? Violence, sex trafficking, child marriages, are all linked to it
@BookOfTamara Well the UAE is easy to explain - immigrant blue-collar labor - obviously all male.
@i_contemplate_ the explanations are generally stable: sex-selective abortion, war, migration. It's the results people don't seem to grok
@BookOfTamara Again, the UAE is a special case as majority of the population is immigrants and there are very few 'permanent' immigrants.
@BookOfTamara In 2013, the UAE had [...] 7.8 million migrants total population of 9.2 million. It's not a normal country!
