a lot of people believe this is true - there are more women in the world than men but is this really true? At least the last 9ja census showed there are more men than women - is this a reality or a myth?

we are in the last days and the Bible says more women.i bliev it.bt u know naija is always different.stil think more women than men,there's hope for you.

I doubt it, the census has shown that there actually more men than women.

Study after Study have shown that it is indeed true.

Haven't really given attention to those studies.

Ths is actually one of d ways dat men manipulate d minds of women makin us more desperate and submissive towards them!d census has proven otherwise.

Ok, Let me go and do my own census.

Will be back with report soonest.

its no myth,there more women than men census or not.

15-64 years: 65.1% (male 2,174,605,518/female 2,124,494,703)

Median age: total: 28 years
male: 27.4 years

Population growth rate: 1.167% (2007 est.)

Birth rate: 20.09 births/1,000 population (2007 est.)

Death rate: 8.37 deaths/1,000 population (2007 est.)

Sex ratio: at birth: 1.07 male(s)/female
under 15 years: 1.064 male(s)/female
15-64 years: 1.024 male(s)/female
65 years and over: 0.781 male(s)/female
total population: 1.014 male(s)/female (2007 est.)

, Reliably, in almost all human populations studied at birth, there is a slight excess of males; about 106 boys are born for each 100 girls. Throughout life, however, there is a slightly greater mortality of males; this slowly alters the sex ratio until, beyond the age of 50 years, there is an excess of females.

This means in particular that in the usual age when people consider marriage, i.e. in the range of about 18-40 years, there are more men in each age group than women.

[See also the very detailed listing regarding sex ratios for nearly all countries of the world in the CIA Fact Book.]

The higher number of women is only AFTER the age of 50.

There are more women - however more over the age of 50 but less number of women between the ages 1- 49

Approximately 50.34% are men & 49.66% are women.

As of July 2007, the United States Central Intelligence Agency estimated the world's population to be 6,602,224,175 with there being 3,278,616,036 (49.66%) females & 3,323,608,139 (50.34%) males.
