year, Males and females were unable to read or write accounting for 1% and 2% in developed countries. Besides
that, the percentage of citizens illiterate in Latin America and the Latin Caribbean was higher with 10% men
and 13% women
. In East Asia and East Oceania, the percentage of illiterate females nearly doubled the quality of illiterate males, at 20% and just under 10% respectively.
The proportions of people who were unable to read and write in sub-Saharan Africa and Arab states were roughly identical, accounting for approximately 30% of women
and 50% of men
. Finally
