Estimated world illiteracy rates, by region and by gender, last year

The bar chart below shows estimated world illiteracy rates by region and by gender for the last year. BJY3V
The bar graph illustrates the percentages of male and female who are illiterate in six areas around the world last year. Overall, women had a higher illiteracy rate than men in all six places, while in developed countries, nearly everyone was literate. South Asia and Arab States had the highest illiteracy rate for both genders, with more than half of the females could not read or write, and around one third and a little over a quarter for males in South Asia and Arab States, respectively. The figure was followed by Sub-Saharan Africa with merely under 50% for female and slightly above 30% for male. On the other hand, the majority of people in developed countries are literate. There were only 1% of male and 2% of female could not read or write. Furthermore, Latin American had a little more than 10% of women and men who were illiterate, and it was relatively low compare to South Asia. While in East Asia, the percentage of illiteracy rate for female was 20%, which was doubled by the percentage for male.
