Demographic Oddity

Can you explain how this is possible? Qatar is only 23.5% women?

Before we get into these issue-specific statistics, we can see in basic demographics something that’s different about living in Saudi Arabia as a woman: Only 42.5 percent of the population is female.

There are only five countries in the world (for which we have data) with a smaller percentage of female residents, according to the World Bank:

Qatar (23.5 percent of the population is female)
United Arab Emirates (29.9 percent female)
Oman (36.4 percent female)
Bahrain (37.8 percent female)
Kuwait (40.2 percent female)

Why might this disparity exist?
