Well given that China has the most people, and some of them are getting rid of girls to make sure the one child they are allowed to keep is a boy...
I am not being racist or ignorant in this. It is an appalling system that the government provides no retirement or pension, seniors are supported by their sons and daughter-in-laws... and the law says each family can only have one child.
Expect a war when this generation of only sons have to relieve their population pressures.

Given that women make up 52% of live births in Canada and given that women have slightly longer life expectancies than men in industrialized nations, I would say that in countries like Canada and the US, there would be more single women than men.
However, in third-world countries, many many women tend to die from childbirth and related causes. I don't know the numbers, but I would guess that there would be more single guys than women in those countries.
Worldwide, then, I'd say it's pretty equal. Any surplus to one side or the other is likely fairly insignificant.

There are more single women in the world. This is why. Most women have kids and it takes a lott for a men to accept those kids as his own and most of the time it does not work our. The women is back on her own with her kids.

Well if there's basically an equal number of men and women then when they pair off there would be generally an equal number of single men and women. Man-man and woman-woman couples pretty much even out so there would still be an equal number.
