Monastic celibacy generates low sex ratios that increase female and reduce male workload. We show that a lower sex ratio and a higher prevalence of monasticism are associated with higher women's workloads and reduced men's workloads in the non-celibate population.

This study offers valuable insights into the origins of gender disparities by examining the role of sex ratio on the sexual division of labor.
