The distribution is fifty/fifty, so with minor fluctuations, it'll always be about that.

As it works out, it tends to be 52% women and 48% men, but this reflects men dying at a higher rate, due to not living as long in general, and making up the majority of high-risk occupations such as war and extreme sports.
