Russia has more women and fewer men, in recent years it is true, we all know that Russia is known as the "fighting nation", this title is not just called.
Looking at their country's territory is so big, you can imagine how much they love to fight, a lot of things for the Russians are able to do by hand never move their mouths.
Even in the face of a brown bear, but also to fight it away, so love fighting, just ask you to serve. Of course, there may also be the possibility of not being able to defeat the other party, and be defeated by the other party.
But the morale can not lose.
Of course the biggest cause of male death in Russia is war.
War of whatever size is accompanied by a large number of male deaths, after all fighting is all between men. In the second time war, they died 26.8 million people, you know now Russia is less than 150 million people ah.
After World War II, their male to female ratio was nearly 1:3, and the number of young and strong men decreased dramatically, and the number of women increased. Even after all this time, the phenomenon of too many women and too few men still hasn't been reversed.
Now, of course, the gap between men and women is not so wide. According to preliminary data from the Russian Federal Statistics Service (Rosstat), as of the beginning of 2020, the ratio of men to women in Russia will be 866 men for every 1,000 women.
That's not a bad ratio!
So what are the main reasons that have led to Russia having fewer men than women in recent years? After all, Russia hasn't fought too many large-scale wars since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
The main ones are as follows:
1. Alcoholism
Russia has the largest territory in the world, and the number one territory in the world. However, most of their territory is in cold regions. Due to the environment, Russian men are into alcoholism.
Alcoholism is one of the factors that lead to early deaths in human beings, and some data show that the number of deaths in Russia due to alcohol consumption is up to 400,000 per year, with each person drinking about 10 liters of alcohol per year.
The number of 400,000 is still quite large, 10 years is 4 million. So if you love alcohol, don't drink too much, as alcoholism really affects your life expectancy.
The average life expectancy of men in countries that love alcohol is about six years lower than that of women. But, in Russia, the gap is even bigger, at 11 years, because of their love of hard liquor.
2, men's life expectancy is generally lower than women's
This is true in most countries of the world, let's say in China, we will see a lot of old women dancing in the square in the summer, but there are not so many old men.
It's because men generally can't outlive women.
This reason is due to a variety of factors, because there are many jobs are with dangerous, like working at height, special work industry ......
This is the reason for the job.
Also, men prefer to challenge exciting projects, such as: extreme sports this is also a reason why men die early.
So it is common for men to outlive women.
3, cognitive reasons: boys and girls are the same
Russia is not patriarchal this argument, for them boys and girls are the same, there will not be a check is a girl do not want this phenomenon.
This ensures, to a certain extent, the birth rate of girls.
In fact, without human intervention, the survival rate of girls is higher than that of boys. Of course, boys also have a lower rate because they grow up to be fighting adults.
So it's the same for both boys and girls, and one of the main reasons why there are more women in their country.
4, Russian women do not like to marry
Despite the fact that there are more women in Russia, there are not many women in their country marrying outside. Of course, there are some Chinese men who have recently married Russian girls, but most of the Chinese men who have been able to marry Russian women have had the experience of living in Russia, or even settled in Russia.
There are other reasons, which we won't go into.
All in all, every country has its own problems faced by every country, and the problem is universally accepted, just like the fact that there are fewer women than men in China, which leads to some of the men not being able to get a daughter-in-law.
There are also countries such as South Korea, Germany and Japan where people are aging badly and the fertility rate is not high. Although it is said that the country has been trying to improve this problem, but the people are not very active, even if the policy is introduced, the effect of improvement is not obvious.
So, the probability is that this problem may persist for a long time.
Russia has a lot of women and China has a lot of men, which would be perfect if they could be neutralized. But the likelihood of coming together because of different customs in different countries is not so great.
