Boys vs. Girls

So as I was looking at my poll about having a daughter I noticed that many people have boys! Then I thought about it and most of my close friends have boys! So I did a little research on the world census to fin this fact! In 2007 the male to female ration for children (0-4 years old) is 106. So, if you have a child 4 or younger there is a 51.5% chance it's a boy.


The actual numbers are:
Total children (world)in 2007 = 618,068,212* (0-4 years)
Boys=318,545,370* (that is Three hundred and eighteen MILLION)
Girls=299,522,842*



*Data from U.S. Census Bureau
