Overall, male had a lower rate of illiteracy around the world, whereas much more female were not illiterate in most regions. In developed countries, the illiteracy rate was the least compare to other areas. There were more people uneducated in Sub-Saharan Africa, Arab States, and South Asia. There were about 2% of male uneducated in developed countries. In contrast, South Asia had around one third of men who are illiterate. Followed by Sub-Saharan Africa and Arab States, which both contained about 30% of illiterate male. The illiteracy rates in Latin American/Caribbean countries and East Asia were much lower than the above continents, with slightly above 10% and roughly 8% respectively. Female's illiteracy rates were higher than male's in general. The percentage for develop countries were only around 3%, which is significantly lower than in other regions. Over half of women cannot read in Arab States and South Asia, followed by Sub-Saharan Africa with just fewer than 50%. In Caribbean and Oceana, the numbers were lower.
