It has been hypothesized that uneven sex ratios in the population could lead to increased violence. The objective of this analysis is to explore the relationship between uneven sex ratios in the population and violence. This analysis uses data collected from men in six Asian countries about their experiences and perpetration of violence. We combine this with region- and age specific sex ratios calculated from Census data to explore the relationship between sex ratios and violence using multilevel models. We find that men from region-age brackets with higher ratios of men to women are significantly more likely to report ever having raped a woman, having perpetrated intimate partner violence, or having used a weapon. We find no evidence for an association between sex ratios and reports of ever having raped a man.
有人假设，人口中性别比例的不均衡可能导致暴力行为增加。本分析旨在探讨人口中性别比例不均衡与暴力行为之间的关系。本分析使用了来自六个亚洲国家的男性关于其暴力行为经历和实施的数据，并结合了从人口普查数据中计算得出的按地区和年龄划分的特定性别比例，使用多层次模型来探索性别比例与暴力行为之间的关系。我们发现，来自男性与女性比例较高的地区-年龄组的男性报告曾强奸过女性、实施过亲密伴侣暴力或使用过武器的可能性显著更高。我们没有发现性别比例与报告曾强奸过男性之间存在关联的证据。
