International Adult Literacy Survey, author.
Literacy in the information age : final report of the International Adult Literacy Survey - Paris : France : Organization for Economic, ©2000. - 1 online resource, xvi, 185 pages : color illustrations.
Includes bibliographical references.
As we move into the information age, policy makers in all countries are increasingly concerned about the role knowledge and skills play in enhancing productivity growth and innovation and in improving social cohesion. The data presented in this publication, drawn from 20 countries over three cycles of data collection for the International Adult Literacy Survey, provide the world's first reliable and comparable estimates of the levels and distributions of literacy skills in the adult population. The study offers an understanding of the nature and magnitude of literacy issues faced by countries and explores new insights into the factors that influence the development of adult skills in various settings - at home, at work and across countries. The 20 countries represented account for over 50 per cent of the world's entire gross domestic product. As such, the literacy data can contribute importantly to an understanding of the demand and supply of skills in the global, knowledge-based economy
