According to the official statistics body Rosstat, there are 866 men for 1000 women in Russia in 2020.
Rosstat: There are more men than women in Russia from the age of 30
In Russia like in many other countries, 106 boys are born for 100 girls. However, in the Russian Federation this statistics doesn’t last long.
In the whole of Russia, there are more females than males from the age of 30 and onwards. However, in large cities like Moscow or St. Petersburg, there are more females already in the age category 25-34.
At the start of 2020, there were 68.1 million males and 78,6 females in Russia, or 10,7 million more women than men.
Why is this happening?
Obviously, there are more early deaths among males than among females.
The early mortality is linked to alcohol consumption: Men in Russia drink 3 times more alcohol per year than women (30 liters of pure alcohol vs. 10 liters). Not only alcohol abuse leads to illnesses, but also there are more trauma and fights, as well as accidents and suicides.
Alcohol poisoning is also an issue: Over 14 thousand people die in Russia every year because of alcohol poisoning. People who are addicted to drinking often buy counterfeit cheap vodka or drink other substances, which may end lethally.
During the last decade, alcohol consumption in Russia had been dropping sharply, while life expectancy is on the rise.
- In general, the Russian culture requires males to be brave and encourages physical contact when solving disagreements. This means some men die in fights, which could be avoided if there was no such encouraging cultural paradigm.
- Taking risks is also encouraged, which adds another layer of avoidable deaths.
- Poor road behavior known throughout the world via YouTube car crash videos is another reason.
- Males also immigrate more often than women, adding this dimension to the already problematic gender demographics. However, this is true in regard to incoming migration as well.
