In a place like Mantle that is victim to income inequality with the more prosperous Atlas, men are more likely to work high-risk jobs (construction and mining) or enlist in military service. This would, naturally, result in a higher death rate than women; who tend to work lower risk jobs. Especially considering the mothers would largely be unable to work through a significant portion of the pregnancy; which reduces net income for that period. Result: more hours for the husbands, more likely to be killed on the job. Second option is that women are, simply put, more likely to end up as a single parent by way of their partner walking out on them.
