On -Presse Citron , I learned of a site, checkfacebook , which provides statistics on facebook users.

In addition to a ranking of countries with the most users (France ranks fourth), it is possible to see the distribution of users for each country depending on age and gender. I am amused to click many different countries.

Curiously, it turns out that in all Western countries, more girls! (~ 53% to 57% of girls). You may say that this is the case for the population in many countries, but it seemed that this was due to the fact that men die earlier than women. This is also very visible on a pyramid, like here:

However, if one looks at age groups, the 13 to 34 years typically represent over 75% of users. These users have not surpassed the 65 years from which men are dying from diseases (including cardiovascular) more frequently than women.

Digging Deeper by studying the case of our beloved country: we realize that 52.9% of registered voters in our country are women, and 99.5% of all registered French were under 65. On the site of the INED , we see that the French under 65 years are composed of up to 50.1% of women and thus 49.9% of men. This gives us, ignoring 0.5% of users aged 65 +:

- 4,995,477 women on 26,062,192 women living in France (19.16% )

- 4,447,540 people registered on 25,944,558 people living in France (17.14%)

Women would therefore simply more likely to list themselves on the social network. Curious? The question is whether they are indeed real people or bots simple!
