Emery Maldonado · Answer 1

Stage 2 countries (developing nations) will have more males than females, on average. This is because there is a higher birth rate than death rate, and the birth rate is increasing rapidly. Due to this, there is a high number of women who are still dying during the birth process, and it leads to fewer women in the overall population.
