In developed countries, Latin America, and Caribbean, the differences between the numbers of males and females getting education were not so big, whereas these differences in all the rest of the examined areas were really remarkable, with the female rates always surpassed male rates, about 50% for females and around 30% for males in the top 3 areas.
