Are thier more girls or boys on Earth?

Question

Or are they about equal?

Answer 1

According to census.gov, as of 07-16-2007, there are an estimated 3,323,615,711 men, and 3,278,621,042 women. So there's more men than women in the world.

According to GeoHive, there are 3,360,742,758 men and 3,310,483,706 women.

So both sources agree, more men than women.

Answer 2

there were 94,232 more boys than girls were born in 2002.

In 2000, there were 116.9 boys born for every 100 girls.

The birth rate fell to 13.9 per 1,000 persons in 2002, down from 14.1 per 1,000 in 2001. This is a full 17 percent decrease in births from 1990, when rates reached 16.7 per 1,000 people.

So even though over 94, 000 more boys than girls are born in the United States each year, it seems it's the boys we need to worry about--in the two decades between 1970 and 1990, the proportion of male births went down an entire 1 percent worldwide.

Answer 3

it's funny, the boys who answer on here give statistics and the girls just make an assumption to favour them. Will has the most valid answer.

There are more women then men on Earth. This is a proven fact which is why Polygamy should be allowed. Men have a shorter lifespan then women and also have a weaker immune system then women.
