The table displays the female-to-male population ratio across six distinct regions (Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Central America, and Oceania) for the years 1995 and 2005.
Overall, the population of females to males in Africa and Europe witnessed a surge while others took the opposite direction during the entire period. Among six countries, Asia maintained the highest ratio in both years surveyed.
In 1995, the ratio of females to males in Asia was 105.3, making it the country that has the most females per 100 males. This was followed by Oceania at 103.9 whereas North America and Central America both exhibited a relatively balanced gender distribution. By contrast, Africa and Europe both have less females than males, at 97,8 and 80,4, respectively.
Thereafter, the ratio of females to males in Asia observed a plunge to 104.9 in 2005, but still ranking first.North America and Central America both followed a similar pattern, but less pronounced, ranging from 96 to 97. Noticeably, Oceania recorded a plummet by the ratio of 4 to fall to 99.8 after 10 years. Conversely, the year 2005 saw the upward trend in the number of females in Africa and Europe as their figures rose to 99,2 and 92,8 in turn.
