Europe has what you may call a man problem.
Sweden is experiencing a male surplus of around 12,000 men, which doesn t seem like a lot when compared to a population of 10 million, but researchers expect there to be a growing gap between genders.
We as researchers have not been on top of this, said Francesco Billari, president of the European Association for Population Studies.
This is especially noteworthy in Europe, which historically has seen a greater population of women.
As Europe s population continues to see dramatic changes thanks to recent mass migrations especially of unaccompanied minors and changes to life expectancy, experts expect the surplus in Sweden to continue.
Women could have a larger selection to choose from when it comes to dating, but could also see more pressure from men who are looking for mates, according to Tomas Sobotka, of the Vienna Institute of Demography.
