The graph depicts the approximate rate of world illiteracy between males and females in six regions in the previous year. Overall, females occupy a major proportion of illiteracy in all six regions having South Asia rank as the highest. To begin with, the percentage of illiteracy of both genders in developed countries were not much significant as males accounted for only about one percent with a slight increase in the number of females. Although males were almost ten times higher in the Latin American/Caribbean region, a slight drop could be seen in East Asia/Oceania. On the other hand, the percentage of females steadily grew in the previously specified regions starting with just over about one percent in developed countries, and surpassing more than ten percent in Latin America, with the ratio almost doubling in East Asia. Moreover, the trend in males in the remaining regions fluctuated between less and over a third. The population of females surged to about 48 percent in the South-Saharan Africa, rising to over 50 percent in the Arab states and reaching its peak in South Asia.
