In both these areas, the number of women per 100 men fell from 100 to 97. 5 and from 103. 9 to 99. 8 respectively. In Asia the figure went down by 0. 4, which is nearly 10 times lesser than that in North America.
In contrast, the population of women witnessed an increase in Europe from 89. 4 in 1995 to 92. 8 in 2005 and the proportion in Africa also went up by 1. 4 in the same period.
