The table provides information concerning the amount of the ability to read by region and gender over a period from 2000 to 2004. Overall, it can be clearly seen that the literacy rate of man was higher than woman in every region and the overwhelming majority was record in Europe, a total of 98. 8%, while the minority was Africa, at only around three-fifths.
To begin with the literacy rate of male, the figure for Europe was higher than the other two groups which were Ocenia and Americas, accounting to 99. 2%, 94. 2% and 94. 1%, respectively. Another noticeable feature is that the figures for Asia and Africa were the two less popular at only 85. 9% and 71. 6%, respectively.
Moving on to the reading ability rate of female, Europe had the higher number at almost 99%, followed closely by Americas and Ocenia with 93. 2% and 92. 7%, accordingly. A striking point is that there were dramatic differences in the literacy rates between Asia and Africa (72. 5% and 53. 9%, respectively).
Finally, the ability to read of people around the world was approximately four-fifths and the figure for male (87. 2%) exceeded that of female (77. 3%).
