Prophet SharingSource: Same city-agency sources as the overall chart, aggregated from each city's own 5-year age bands into four broader brackets. Value = men's share of that bracket's population minus 50 — percentage points from an even split, positive means more men. Singapore's brackets use resident population (citizens + permanent residents) since a 5-year breakdown isn't published for the full population. Hong Kong's brackets include foreign domestic helpers, ~99% female and concentrated in the 25–64 range — see the domestic-helpers chart for how much of Hong Kong's swing that explains.
