A simple question that I can't solve, why is it that primarily only young, working age men are impacted by climate change and asylum seeking violence?

Every time I see a video of people illegally entering America or seeking asylum they seem to be vastly weighted towards young, working age men.

Doesn't climate change and other concerns impact their nation equally? There are more women than men born, but far fewer at your border. Why not older people? Doesn't a 60 year old deserve to seek asylum out of fear of climate change just as a 22 year old?

I can't explain this gross disparity even accounting for "well, younger people can survive the trek", since there are women and children of course who do go just grossly fewer proportionately. Also, often they are paid for a coyote to provide them close access to your border anyways so it isn't a harrowing a trip.
