In all countries, there are more male than female births (the extent of which varies by country as we will see below). This means that all else being equal, we would expect males to account for slightly more than half of the total population. migration can also affect the sex ratio of the population.
Ten countries assessed this year – six of which located in Sub-Saharan Africa – report parity on this indicator. Afghanistan, Pakistan and Algeria rank at the bottom, with less than 5% of professionals in senior positions being women.
It is now recognized that there are no significant sex differences in general intelligence, though particular subtypes of intelligence vary somewhat between sexes. While some test batteries show slightly greater intelligence in males, others show slightly greater intelligence in females.
Abstract. Men and women are believed to differ in how influential and easily influenced they are: Men are thought to be more influential, and women more easily influenced.

In fact, Norway ranks as the country with the highest level of income equality, while also ranking second for gender equality worldwide. However, even though Norway is the fairest country, it still has much more work to truly become equal.
Now, an anthropological study of gender division of labour across different societies has revealed that women work harder than men. The results of the study, published in the magazine.
Some studies found that men are more optimistic than women, but these findings relate to financial and economic contexts (e.g.11,12,13), where men and women have different perceptions of and attitudes toward risk (e.g., on average, more males than females favor risk12,14,15,16).

Among humans, women's life span is almost 8% on average longer than men's life span. But among wild mammals, females in 60% of the studied species have, on average, 18.6% longer lifespans.
Boys have a great increase in muscle size and strength, together with a series of physiological changes making them capable of doing heavier physical work than girls and of running faster and longer. These changes all specifically adapt the male to his primitive primate role of dominating, fighting, and foraging.
