In 2026, Argentina is projected to have a slightly female-skewed sex ratio of 98.64 males per 100 females, indicating that females outnumber males by a narrow margin. Based on the overall female-to-male ratio, Argentina ranks 129th out of 237 countries and territories worldwide, 34th out of 50 in Latin America and the Caribbean, and eighth out of 14 in South America. Its gender ratio is comparable to that of Canada, Montserrat, and Uganda.

There are 22,843,960 (22.84 million) males and 23,159,774 (23.16 million) females in Argentina, resulting in a female surplus of about 316K people. In percentage terms, females make up 50.34% of the population, compared to 49.66% males. Argentina has the sixth-highest absolute female surplus in Latin America and the Caribbean and ranks 39th globally.

In Argentina, the male-to-female ratio fell from 103.85 males per 100 females in 1950 to below parity in 1962, when women began to outnumber men. It fell further to the lowest ratio of 96.95 males per 100 females in 1989, and since then, the ratio has been increasing.

The sex ratio at birth in Argentina is approximately 105.0 male births for every 100 female births. Historically, the ratio has remained relatively stable, fluctuating within a narrow range from about 103.6 in 1969 to 106.3 in 2007, indicating minimal variation over time.

As of 2026, Argentina has more males than females in age groups under 50. The highest male-to-female ratio is found in the 15–19 age group, with 105.79 males for every 100 females. Among children under 15, the sex ratio is 105.32, while in the working-age population (15–64), the ratio is slightly male-skewed at 102.05 males per 100 females. However, the ratio declines significantly among those aged 65 and older, with only 74.33 males for every 100 females. Among the elderly, women greatly outnumber men, with females outnumbering males by a roughly 2:1 ratio of those in the 85–89 age group, and nearly 82% of centenarians being female.
