[Here’s a source](http://www.geohive.com/global/pop_gender.php) that claims to use UN statistical estimates for last year:

> [@](#):
>
> World  
> Male: 3,248,080,000  
> Female: 3,214,983,000  
> M/F: 101%

So, worldwide, there are more males. Although what’s interesting is that if you leave out China (with their 25-year-old one-child-per-family policy which, through abortion and infanticide, left the country with an extremely lopsided ratio in favor of males), women have the edge.
