Previously, the Northern Mariana Islands has a population of 80,362 (2005 estimate). The official 2000 census count was 69,221.[3] The Northern Mariana Islands had the lowest male to female sex ratio in the world: 76 men to every 100 women,[1] due to a large number of female foreign workers, especially in the garment industry.[4] In the early 2000s they began shutting down and by 2009 they were all closed, and the imported workers usually returned home.[5]
