    I can only speak for Malaysia. So here’s the news from last year census:

    https://www.bernama.com/en/news.php?id=2297508#:~:text=He said the country’s male,100 females%2C” he said.

    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.

        As little as USA, that’s true. Except US prefer to kill pregnant woman, we here have free healthcare and sensible abortion rule.
