Analysis of Global Literacy Rates
The global literacy rates reveal a clear age and gender disparity. Among individuals aged 12-15, men have a literacy rate of 88% compared to women’s 80%. The gap narrows in the 15-24 age group, where men’s literacy reaches 90% while women’s is 88%. However, as the age increases, the disparity becomes significant. In the 25-64 age group, men have a literacy rate of 88%, while women lag behind at 79%. The difference further widens among individuals aged 65 and older, where men’s literacy rate stands at 80% compared to women’s 75%. This trend underscores the need for targeted educational policies, especially for older women, to bridge this persistent literacy gap.
