The graph shows changes in literacy rates in different countries between 1990 
and 2000, for men and women. Overall more and more people are able to 
read, and there have been significant improvements for women, although they 
lag behind men in literacy. 
The most obvious trend in the graph is that women have lower illiteracy rates 
in most of the countries in the graph. For example, in Bangladesh in 1990, 
45% of men could read and write, but only 25% of women. The difference was 
even bigger in Pakistan, with 50% of men being literate but only 20% of 
women. Even in Kuwait and China, slightly more men than women could read 
and write. 
The second biggest trend in the graph is the improvement in literacy between 
1990 and 2000. In all countries shown, figures for both men and women 
improved. The biggest change was in Pakistan, from 49% of men in 1990 to 
57% over the ten year period. Even in countries with relatively high literacy 
rates, such as China or Brazil, there were significant increases for men. 
However, the increases in literacy rates for women were much higher. In 
Egypt, the percentage of non-illiterate women jumped from 35% to 44% and in 
Pakistan from 20% to 28% over the decade. 
In conclusion, almost all the countries in the graph have a long way to go 
before achieving 100% literacy rates, and women in particular need support in 
order to increase their reading ability. However, all countries improved over 
the ten years, and women appear to be catching up even in the lowest 
countries.
