The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) recorded Indonesia's sex ratio at 102.2 in 2022. This means that for every 100 women, there are approximately 102 men.

A sex ratio of 100 represents a balance between the number of men and women.

A ratio above 100 indicates a larger number of men, while a ratio below 100 signifies a larger number of women.

In 2022, only one province had a sex ratio of exactly 100: East Nusa Tenggara.

Thirty provinces had a ratio above 100, and three provinces had a ratio below 100: Yogyakarta Special Region, East Java, and South Sulawesi.

Yogyakarta Special Region had the lowest ratio at 98. This means that for every 100 women, there were only 98 men, the lowest number among all provinces.

Papua had the highest proportion of men in 2022, with a ratio of 113.5.

"Data on the sex ratio is useful for developing gender-sensitive development planning, especially concerning equitable development for men and women," said the BPS on its official website.

"Information on the sex ratio is also important for politicians, especially to increase women's representation in parliament," said the BPS.
