What country has the highest rate of circumcision?

Answer 1

throughout most of the world excluding the Middle East. a mere 20% of the worlds men are circumcised.

The largest concentration of intact men are found where there are few men circumcised for religious and cultural reasons. These areas include all of Europe including Russia, the majority of Sub-Saharan Africa, most all of Latin America & the Caribbean, all of Asia excluding the Middle East, Pakistan, Afghanistan, the Philippines, & South Korea, Malaysia, & Indonesia.

Circumcision usually occurs due to religious or cultural reasons. Jewish males and most Muslim males are circumcised. Cultural circumcision occurs in areas where circumcision was one a normal medical practice, for example in the United States. However circumcision rates have decreased recently in the United States, Canada, and Australia. In the United States the majority of infant males no longer circumcised (with a percentage of about 30% overall), while in Canada and Australia the infant circumcision rates vary geographically but are generally below 10%. It is also common in the Pacific Islands & parts of Africa as a tribal rite of passage.

Answer 2

Circumcision is very uncommon in most of the world. Circumcision is rarest in most non-Islamic countries of Asia, Europe, & South America. Circumcision is most common is Israel, the United States, Islamic countries, the Philippines, & south Korea. Many adult males are still circumcised in some former British colonies, including Canada and Australia. However in these country the circumcision rate has fallen rapidly since the 1970's ant the practice is actively discouraged by their doctors. The only English speaking country that stands out in the continuance of the practice IS the USA as they have strong professional lobby's that actively misinform and encourage the practice for reasons of trade. Even there though the practice is becoming less frequent.

Answer 3

Circumcision is far less common today than it was, even 20 years ago. Circumcision is perhaps most common in the United States, but even in the United States, less than 40% of newborn infants are circumcised. Circumcision is very common in Israel, where there is a large Jewish population. Circumcision is also practiced in all Muslim countries as a religious obligation. In Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea, around 10% of newborn males are circumcised.

The vast majority of men in the world are uncircumcised. In most of the world circumcision is extremely rarely practiced. For example in most of Europe, South America, Central America, Africa, and Asia, probably 98 out of 100 men would be uncircumcised. However, in some countries a small minority of the population is circumcised. For example in places like Canada and Australia, around 10% of newborn babies are circumcised.

In the United States 25 years ago, the vast majority of men were circumcised, but today a minority of infants are circumcised. Circumcision rates have been falling in the United States since the 1970s. In the 1980s, over 80% of newborn male infants were circumcised. By 2007, when the most recent data from the American Academcy of Pediatrics was released, less than 40% of newborn male infants were circumcised, meaning that of boys born today in the United States, more are uncircumcised and circumcised.

Circumcision rates vary widely by region in the United States. In the Midwest and southeast, circumcision rates remain as high as 65%, while in the western united states, circumcision rates are generally well below 25%.
