The Home Office regularly publishes statistics on family reunion applications (the latest of which as published in December 2016 and can be found:

Beyond this, we are unable to provide a breakdown of the statistics by age/gender in the manner requested. In order to do so, the department would have to interrogate individual case records, at disproportionate cost.
