Manama: Men make up three quarters of the total population of Qatar, official figures have indicated.

Out of a total population of Qatar of 1,631,728 at the end of the year, men, both Qataris and non-Qataris, numbered 1,254,092 while women were 377,636, the official statistics authority said.

The figures represent a 51,678 increase over the month of November. However, they do not include the Qataris who were outside the country at the end of December.

The disproportionately high male figure is attributed to the presence of hundreds of thousands of foreign workers employed in the booming construction sector, mainly bachelors or unaccompanied husbands from the Asian continent

The Northern Mariana Islands have the highest female ratio with 0.77 males/female. Qatar has the highest male ratio, with 2.87 males/female. For the group aged below 15, Sierra Leone has the highest female ratio with 0.96 males/female, and the Republic of Georgia and the People's Republic of China are tied for the highest male ratio with 1.13 males/female (according to the 2006 CIA World factbook).
