About This Dataset
Countries with the Most Boys Born per Girl 2024
The 20 countries with the highest sex ratio at birth in 2024, measured as male births per female birth. Liechtenstein is highest at 1.163 boys per girl, followed by Northern Mariana Islands at 1.151 and Azerbaijan at 1.113. Data covers 217 countries and territories.
✨ AI Insight
The natural ratio is about 1.05 boys per girl and the median country sits at 1.051. The top two entries here are very small populations, where a few hundred births in a year move the ratio sharply, so they are statistical noise rather than a pattern. The genuinely skewed large countries are Azerbaijan at 1.113, Vietnam at 1.106 and China at 1.103, where sex selection has been documented for decades.
