Apart from being a male-dominated society, Maldives is also home to 178,000 immigrants and expatriates. The non-locals account for about 34% of the total population. The majority of these immigrants are male workers from Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, India, and Nepal.
6. Kuwait
Kuwait, located on the Arabian Peninsula, has a population of about 4.5 million people, of which about 3 million are expatriates. Expatriates and immigrants account for over 70% of the Kuwaiti population.
Most of these expatriates are male workers attracted to the country by the rich oil-driven economy.
Kuwait has the world’s 6th largest oil reserve and its currency is the world’s highest-valued currency. The expatriates are mostly men because the majority come from Arab countries where it is the responsibility of the male to provide for his household.
7. Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia is the largest country on the Arabian Peninsula, with a population of about 34 million people, including about 10 million non-nationals. The proportion of men in the country is increasing steadily, but at a slower rate, from 54% in 2000 to 58% in 2019.
Saudi Arabia is a gender-segregated country, with strict restrictions on women’s rights and freedoms. Most women are under the guardianship of men who control every aspect of their lives from birth to death.
Other countries with a significantly large proportion of men are Equatorial Guinea (56%), Bhutan (53%), and Djibouti (53%).
