Contribution
A share can be more than the whole
Each line is that side’s share of the total’s growth year-over-year. When one side grows and the other shrinks, the growing side is credited with more than 100% and the shrinking side goes negative. That’s the math, not a data error.

2022: girls +209%, boys −309%.
2026: girls +151%, boys −51%.
