. Almost half of all Australians aged 15-74 years had literacy skills below level 3 (46% had prose literacy skills below level 3 and 47% had document literacy skills below this level) and more than half (53%) had numeracy skills below level 3. For numeracy, the rate for children in care was 71%; 22 percentage points lower than the national numeracy rate (93%) (AIHW 2015). Males aged 15 and over have a literacy rate of 90%, while females lag only slightly behind at 82.7%. Average literacy and numeracy scale scores of 25- to 65-year-olds, by sex, age group, highest level of educational attainment, and country or other education system: 2012 2020, Digest of Education Statistics 2019, Table 604.20. Detailing the standards that individual countries use to assess the ability to read and write is beyond the scope of the Factbook. For PSTRE, 59% of people studying a Bachelor degree were at Level 2 or above, compared to 32% of people studying a Certificate III/IV and 23% studying a Certificate I/II. In comparison, for men aged 25 to 34 years, 65% of employed men achieved a literacy score at Level 3 or above, compared to 45% of not employed men. Once again, Kerala has the lowest gap of 1.9 percentage points. Of people employed full time who were in the highest income decile, 84% achieved a literacy Level 3 or above, compared to 40% of people in the lowest income decile. The distinctive component of PIAAC was the direct measurement of three critical information-processing skills: literacy; numeracy; and problem solving in technology-rich environments (PSTRE). For numeracy, more men were assessed at Level 3 or above than women at all ages, but the difference, which was 10 percentage points or higher for older ages, was lower for younger ages. Literacythe ability to read and writeis arguably the single most important factor in determining a person's career arc. In comparison, 11% of people who were born outside Australia but whose first language was English were assessed as having a literacy score at Level 1 or below. Thats a huge step.. Another mistaken belief is that it is young people who don't have the literacy skills for work and study. Among the 16.3 million people for whom a skill level was measured, 2.3 million (14%) were studying for a non-school qualifcation. In general, the scores of unemployed people were higher than scores of people not in the labour force but lower than the scores of employed people. Poverty and illiteracy tend to go hand-in-hand. But Ive taught people in their 60s who never went to high school, Jo says. PIAAC also collected information on demographic characteristics, education and training, employment, income and skill use in everyday life and at work. 21% of adults in the US are illiterate in 2023.; 54% of adults have a literacy below 6th grade level. Literacy rate, youth male (% of males ages 15-24) Literacy rate, youth total (% of people ages 15-24) Literacy rate, youth female (% of females ages 15-24) Trained teachers in primary education (% of total teachers) Persistence to last grade of primary, total (% of cohort) Currently, you are using a shared account. Among people who worked in Construction, 46% were assessed at Level 3 or above for literacy, 44% for numeracy, and 18% at Level 2 or above for PSTRE. People who worked in 'Professional, Scientific and Technical Services' had particularly high scores in literacy (78% at Level 3 or above), numeracy (70% at Level 3 or above), and PSTRE (50% at Level 2 or above). Male and Female literacy was 82 and 65.5% respectively. Public awareness of just how many Australians had fallen through the education cracks grew in the decades that followed. For people aged 65 to 74 years with fair or poor health, 18% were assessed at Level 3 or above for literacy, 16% for numeracy and 2.4% for PSTRE. Conversely, of people whose first language was English, 23% were not classified for PSTRE, and 46% attained Level 1 or below. Getting help is also complicated by where you live. Overall, 44% (3.7 million) of men and 45% (3.7 million) of women had literacy skills at Level 2 or below. The modern economy is marked by an increasing demand for information-processing skills and other high level cognitive and interpersonal skills. All Rights Reserved. And for that he needed to be able to read. Previously released in ALLS and SAL publications are not directly comparable with PIAAC data. I observed that in such districts, the rural population was much higher than the urban. Literacy rates for women living in urban areas are as high as 34.7 percent. ), definition: age 15 and over can read and writetotal population: 80.8%male: 85.3%female: 76.7% (2018), definition: age 15

The situation was similar for PSTRE, where older women were less likely than older men to be at Level 2 or above, but among younger people there was no significant difference. For literacy and numeracy, proficiency scores have been grouped into six skill levels with Below Level 1 being the lowest level and Level 5 the highest. In comparison, 40% of people with poor or fair health attained a literacy score of Level 3 or above, 30% a numeracy score at level 3 or above, and 18% a PSTRE score at Level 2 or above. For more detail refer to the PIAAC Data Item List available from the Data downloadssectionof this publication.
