Since 2015, the male surplus in Sweden has only increased. It is most pronounced among the younger age groups. In 2021, the number of men between 20 and 24 years old was 13 percent higher compared to women of the same age. Put simply, there were 53 percent men and 47 percent women. These are unprecedented differences.

When young men outnumber women in the same age group, exclusion increases on the marriage market. The young men who do not finish school today and never get a job are the first ones who will be chosen out. This group grows in line with the male surplus. For men lacking other forms of capital—social and economic—only violence capital remains in the end.
