Sex ratio  (SEX ratio)


The sex structure1 or sex distribution1 of the population is generally measured by the ratio of the total number of one sex2 to the total number of the population, or to the total number of the other sex. When the male sex is considered, we often speak of the masculinity3 of the population. The masculinity proportion4 is the proportion of males in the total population. The sex ratio5 is the ratio of the number of one sex to that of the other; the ratio of the number of men to the number of women is called the masculinity ratio5.

  • 2. sex n. — sexual adj.
  • 3. masculinity n. — masculine adj.
