Given is a bar chart providing information about percentages of reading and writing ability in different regions among women and men in 2011. The regions are illustrated on the horizontal axis of the graph, whereas the percentages are on the vertical one. Overall, it can be recognized that more than half of the population was literate. Besides, the highest portion was related to men.
According to the graph, although all people were able to read and write in Central Asia, the illiteracy rate was maximum in Sub-Saharan Africa -above 30% of men and 40% of women. In addition, five charts investigated regions demonstrated various literacy rates among men and women, while two other ones, namely Central Asia and Central/ Eastern Europe showed the same ratio. The biggest gap was relevant to South and West Asia (about 20%) and the least gap was related to East Asia/Pacific (about 5%) in that year.
