South Sudan has more women than men, new report reveals

A recent survey by the South Sudan National Bureau of Statistics (SSNBS) shows that women now outnumber men in the country. The 2021 Population Estimation Survey reports that 52% of South Sudan's estimated 13 million population are women, while men make up 48%. This shift is largely attributed to ongoing conflict and displacement that have impacted the country’s demographic makeup since the last census in 2008, when the population was recorded at 8.2 million.
