The map shows the female ratio in the Arctic, where darkest colours indicates a deficit of females. Compared with males, more females in the Arctic migrate permanently away from their home community and region, first to look for job opportunities that better fit their qualifications, and also to provide opportunities outside traditional economic activities in these communities. A consequence of this trend is a distorted female-to-male ratio; that is, compared with national averages, there are substantially fewer females than males as seen in this map.
