US women outnumber men WASHINGTON: American women outnumbered their menfolk by nearly eight million last year, the US Census Bureau reported yesterday, and because women tend to outlive men, there were two women for every man over the age of 85.In early life, there were 105 boys under the age of 20 for every 100 girls in the same age group in the United States, but that ratio reversed itself quickly: For ages 20-44, there were 98 men for every 100 women. By old age, there are only 50 men for every 100 women, the bureau estimated. There were an estimated 106.7 million women over age 18 last year, while there were 98.9 million men in the same age group.--Reuters |
