Notably, the gap between the two genders grew wider over time: in 2000, the gap was only about 1 million, yet during the last few years of the studied period, the gap reached over 10 million. The proportion of girls had a more steady extent with a slower increase. Additionally, from 2004 to 2008, they didn’t experience a rise.
