the population of men and women between the ages of 40-50 is approximately equal. the population of women is higher than men between the ages of 50-60. what does this likely result from?



Answer :

The situation given in the question occurs due to the lower mortality rate which is seen in women of the age group 50-60.

Discrepancies between men and women's death rates and life expectancy. In general, women live longer than males. This means that, assuming everything else is equal, we should anticipate that women will make up somewhat more than half of the population.

Birth sex ratios are not equal. Males outnumber female births in every country. This means that, assuming everything else is equal, we should anticipate that men will make up somewhat more than half of the population.

The population's gender distribution can be impacted through migration. All other things being equal, we would anticipate that men would make up more than 50% of the population if some countries import a sizable amount of male-dominated labor.
