In the Edo period (I think it was) Japan has a disparity between men and women, I think it was 5 men to 1 woman. So your ratio there is most likely accurate.Adding to this, it makes Babylys a unique place, as it seems to have a more even sex-ratio. It makes sense as an elite institution.
What is left unsaid is this creates an interesting dynamic that really makes for an inhuman society. As far as the human world is concerned, there are usually fewer men than women. Most non-European societies had what we could call polygamous structures, so, as in this world, only a (relatively) few men tend to dominate the female population and access to sex. Even in European societies that were monogamous, the rate of male death meant a far smaller amount of men ever went on to breed compared to the female population.
This is sort of breeding characteristic though really creates a hard population cap and even more brutal competition. I can't even imagine how it could work...there would basically be extreme polygyny (sharing of a single female, which we see with the Succubus types who are sort of deified temple prostitutes), and the males organizing typically into coalitions to compete for access to these females.
Well, they are all magic anyway, but for a throw-away line it creates a lot of issues, unless we know the ratio is not that extreme.
This, of course, assumes the males have a human level of sex drive and human reproductive strategies...which, why would they?It would cause pretty cataclysmic violence and chaos. It might also be a Queen-Bee syndrome...so, like weirdly individualist beehive families, but they aren't all Matriarchal or Matrilocal, which is also strange.
Lol, it feels like the way the previous Demon Lord fixed the world must have been skewing the female population from 1:10 to maybe 1:4.
She used romanticist back in the Walter park arc to fight those big ahh monstersThats her bloodline magic????
minor correction, polygyny would be multiple women with a single man, polyandry would be multiple men with a single woman.Adding to this, it makes Babylys a unique place, as it seems to have a more even sex-ratio. It makes sense as an elite institution.

What situation?Huh, I thought there'd be no more uploads on mangadex, are things changing with the DMCA situation?
Mangadex was sent some kind of DMCA and had to remove a lot of chapters for various manga among other things. The group scanlating Iruma kun said they were going to stop uploading to mangadex because of the DMCA, but then these chapters got uploaded so I wasn't sure what that indicatedWhat situation?
According to one of the team working on the translation, the reuploads were done by an anonymous person using the team's own translations without permission or consent of the group.Mangadex was sent some kind of DMCA and had to remove a lot of chapters for various manga among other things.

Hmm, I didn't calculate the (nigh) immortality angle...so, that might actually save this!We also have to consider this:
Demons live for a LONG time, so they will continue living and reproducing for hundreds if not thousands of years.
And then we also have that we haven't actually seen Demons fall to disease, that they are probably strong enough to not die during birth...
If we look at it this way, even if the Netherworld is a pretty dangerous place, the average Demon will probably die for a LONG time.
If they reproduced as fast as Humans do, they probably would end dealing with Overpopulation pretty soon.
Having a them focus on Quality over Quantity when it comes to reproduction actually makes a lot of sense to keep a relatively stable number of them.
