In many countries where males are valued more highly culturally, infanticide is depressingly common. On a similar note, many countries have outlawed doctors revealing the baby’s sex during pregnancy appointments because too many parents would end the pregnancy if it was going to be a girl.
Qatar and UAE are small petro states with more immigrants than natives. Most of these immigrant laborers are men in their 20s which skews the gender ratio.
In general, for citizen it’s 103:100 male/female ratio, it’s only when added the whole population, including permanent resident and immigrant, the ratio skewed to 111:100, because there’s more immigrant men coming in to work as blue collar than women. There’s no widespread infanticide happening as far as i can tell, so it’s very likely just happen naturally.
What happened in Qatar is very likely similar situation.
Qatar for instance is not very high (this is a ratio of number of male over number of female) on the “at birth” and “0-14” age bracket with 1.02. it’s actually a bit lower than western countries.
The data is still concerning in some countries with notably larger “at birth” ratio and even an increase in th “0-14” age bracket.
Omg is there infanticide going on in qatar and the likes? Or are people not registering female births?
Please let it be the latter, as a bad solution amongst worse solutions.

Immigrant workers who tend to be males
Can you elaborate? As for as I know this is about sex registred ar birth, unrelated to immigration.

Thank you, that makes much more sense. I EU too, most refugees tend to be male.
Where did u see that? The map just says population ratio
Is it? Where do you see that?
Thank you for the question. On second thought: I misunderstood
I can only speak for Malaysia. So here’s the news from last year census:

Just a little female infanticide going on.
As little as USA, that’s true. Except US prefer to kill pregnant woman, we here have free healthcare and sensible abortion rule.
This is probably on the whole population, so predominantly male immigration is likely the main reason.
The map is not very helpful about what is actually depicted but wikipedia has similar data with a breakdown by age :

I’m assuming it’s all the indenture workers skewing the results.
Remember when there were a like 114 boys to 100 girls in China? That means they killed around 10-15 girls for every 100 girls born.
I’d heard China was gay as santorum but fuck that’s a wild ratio.
