Thousands of men in their 20s and early 30s have left Australia,
causing a gender imbalance that is having far-reaching implications
for society, a study shows.

New figures show there were 20,000 fewer men than women aged
30-something in Australia last year, according to a report by
accounting firm KPMG, reversing a long period in which there were
more men.

The study, which uses data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics,
shows that in the 12 months to 2004 there was a surplus of women in
every age group between 29 and 55.
