Indonesia’s population of 222 611 000
qualifies it as the fourth most populous
country in the world. Indonesia is one of
the few countries whose female population
has consistently outnumbered the male
population due to war and the higher
mortality rate of males. Gradually the
gap has narrowed to the 2003 sex ratio of
50/50 (ESCAP, 2004).
