The table compares demographic factors of women per 100 men in six different sectors, namely Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Central America, and Oceania, in two years (1995 and 2005).
It is clear that Asia had the highest population ratio of females per 100 males than any other areas. Throughout the 10 years, only Africa and Europe saw decent growth in the demographic ratio, while other regions saw a decline.
In 1995, Africa and Europe recorded the lowest amount of the ratio between opposite genders, 97.8 and 89.4, respectively. Next, both North and Central America had a balanced proportion of 100.1 and 100. Following them, Oceania had a slightly over 100 women to men proportion—103.9 to be exact—and lastly, Asia showed the highest ratio, being 105.3.
After a decade, Africa and Europe had modest growth in their population ratio between the two genders, 99.2 and 92.8. A downward trend was seen in the population ratio between men and women in Asia, despite its proportion of females still outnumbering males throughout the 10-year period. Other areas—Oceania, Central America, North America—followed the trend, declining to 99.8, 97.5, and 96.9, in turn.
