How does sex ratio at birth vary across the world? We might expect that naturally an equal number of boys and girls are born, but this is not the case. There are biological reasons why more boys than girls are born each year: around 105 boys per 100 girls.
This video does a good job of explaining why this is so.
The excess males who would've died off by sexual maturity, thereby ensuring a 1:1 sex ratio, don't anymore due to modern medicine.
A substantial number of people think there are more women than men in their country (if they don't live in China, India or other places with a cultural preference for having a boy), but this is only true because women live longer than men on average. This dramatically skews the ratio. If we look only at people under the age of 65, the data paint a different picture.
Some figures:
In Canada, there are 120,000 (1.76 million males/1.64 million females) more 18-24 y/o males
In the UK, there are 301,498 (6,134,833 males/5,833,335 females) more males than females under the age of 15 and 526,394 (23,085,654 males/22,559,240 females) more males than females between the ages of 15 and 64.
In the United States, there are 790,000 (22.35 million/21.56 million) more 20-something men than 20-something women.

How does the number of men and women differ between countries? And why?

I'm quite surprised nobody seems to notice this demographic issue.
