Change in Population by Gender in the UK 1921-2021

GEOG-220 Final Project

During the First World War, the United Kingdom created so-called “Pals Battalions” formed from groups of men living in the north of England; these battalions were, with little training and very little combat experience, sent into the frontlines at, among many others, the Battle of the Somme, where the British suffered the heaviest losses incurred by the Royal Armed Forces in one day, at around 49,000 men lost. As a result, entire towns in the north of Britain had their entire populations of men wiped out. This chart shows the UK Census taken after both World Wars, and what the current ratios of women to men are in each country.
