Some countries (like China) do not publish statistics – they should have a distinct color.
UPDATE: I was wrong. This graph is an UN estimation (as per title), not national statistics, and it indeed includes most countries.

So having sex is causing all of this? Wow

Interesting. How does it look if you make one map with the difference between the two rates? Less meaningful metric but then we don’t have to look back and forth to find the differences

Dang, Venezuela sure has something going on specifically for men. Ukraine too but the cause of that is obvious.
Afghanistan is the only one I can easily pick out with a strong bias toward women of this age group dying. Central African Republic is also visible but the difference is less stark.

Dang, Afghanistan really stands out like that. It’s not alone in having a higher mortality rate for women but it’s in rarefied company.
The other ones I saw were Central African Republic, South Sudan and maybe Somalia but they don’t pop out as much since the base line around them is higher.

My thought process for a second:
Why is there that dark dot in europe for men ?
Oh… thats why

Somalia is equal opportunity in horrible conditions

I appreciate that Crimea and the other occupied areas are marked as Ukraine.

Somalia has achieved gender equality in the worst possible way.

What’s going on in Venezuela?
Yeah, I know about the economic crisis and repressions. But there must be something specific going on that other poor/repressed countries aren’t experiencing, for men.

Why is the southern hemisphere so small on this map?

What’s that small dark spot by the Philippines on the women’s map? Timor-Leste?

Afghanistan doesn’t seem to like women.

Clearly the smart move is to hang out in Greenland during your early 20s

The patriarchy needs to step it up, they’re failing everywhere.

Crazy how there’s many countries in Africa with a higher male mortality rate than Russia, who’s literally in a war of attrition with Ukraine.

Thank you, Alex. I’ll take “War and Famine” for 300.

Women have higher mortality in two states, Afghanistan and the Central African Republic. Men have higher mortality in every single other state, so it is interesting why it appears as equal in so many places. Taking non-equivalent rates as equal if they are close enough?

Damn, that’s a lot of people dying by sex

Of course people will focus on the extremes of these statistics but the USA is scarily high for a western country

I have found a UN Inter Agency report on this topic however the age range was 15-24, if you could note how you achieved the 20-24 figures that would be useful
rapharafa1 on
So is 32 of 1000 the max, and thus what the figure is in Ukraine?
And this is for a single year, 2023 it seems?
Trying to understand: so the war starts in Ukraine, you’re a young man, how likely is it you’re dead by now.
