The bar chart illustrates the percentage of people who are able to read and write by

region and gender in 2011. The chart includes this information about seven different
parts of the world like some parts of Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Americas.
Overall, it is clearly that the rate literacy of male and female was always equal or
slightly higher than rate of gender. Only two regions showed the same literacy rate
for men and women. The proportion of literate citizens from Sub-Saharan Africa is
less than 70%. This is the lowest value among all seven regions.

Looking at the first data set, on male rate literacy, in more detail, it is evident that the
rate of male who literacy in the Central Asia was the highest, at 100% followed by
Eastern Europe, East Asia and Caribbean is approximately equal at lower than 100% a
little bit. The rate literacy of male in Arab states, South and West Asia, sub-Saharan
Africa are more lower than 100% and all fell in the range.
Turning to the data set on female rate literacy, it can be seen that rate literacy of
female in Central Asia was also highest at 100%. The rate of female who literacy in
Eastern Europe, Pacific, Caribbean and Arab states all fell in the range from a little
lower 100% to lower 80% respectively. Finally, female rate literacy in South and
West Asia, sub-Saharan Africa were equal together at lower than 60%.
