- Females: 3.93 billion (49.6% of the world population)
- Males: 3.98 billion (50.4% of the world population)
These figures indicate that there are slightly more males than females in the world, but the difference is relatively small. It’s worth noting that gender ratios can vary significantly across different countries and regions due to factors such as cultural norms, migration patterns, and social policies.
