  and males often migrate at different rates. Official data on sex-specif
 ic international migration flows are missing for most countries\, prohib
 iting comparative measures to identify and address inequalities. Here we
  use six methods to estimate male and female five-year bilateral migrati
 on flows between 200 countries from 1990 to 2020. We validate the estima
 tes from each method through correlations of several migration measures 
 with equivalent reported statistics in countries that collect flow data.
  We find that the Pseudo-Bayesian demographic accounting method performs
  consistently better than the other estimation methods for both female a
 nd male estimated flows. The estimates from all methods indicate a decli
 ne in the share of female migration flows from 1990-1995 to 2005-2010 fo
 llowed by a recovery over the decade since 2010.\n\n\nAbout the speaker\
 n\nGuy J. Abel is a Professor in the School of Sociology and Political S
 cience at Shanghai University and a researcher at the Asian Demographic 
 Research Institute and IIASA. His research focuses on modelling migratio
 n flows and forecasting components of population change. His recent work
  involves studying the evolution of migration networks and using digital
  trace data to improve the measurement of migration patterns.\n\n\n\nFor
