Urban population, male (% of total)

This indicator reflects the proportion of males residing in urban environments relative to the overall population, offering crucial insights into demographic trends and societal structures. High percentages of male urban dwellers can indicate economic migration, where men move to cities for better job opportunities, education, or lifestyle. Conversely, low figures may suggest barriers to urbanization, such as economic challenges or cultural factors limiting migration. Understanding this statistic is vital for urban planners and policymakers, as it informs resource allocation, infrastructure development, and social services aimed at accommodating a predominantly male urban populace. Additionally, it can highlight gender dynamics within urban settings, influencing initiatives for gender equality and community support systems. Source:
