?:abstract
  • Emphasis on the acquisition and maintenance of literacy skills has grown due to mounting evidence of their importance to quality of life and overall societal productivity and social cohesion. This is one of the underlying motivations for the OECD’s Programme for the Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC). Important goals of the PIAAC study are to provide an accurate overview of the extent and distribution of literacy proficiency and other core competencies among and within countries in a comparable manner, and to study the antecedents as well as individual and societal outcomes associated with such competencies. Foremost, an important goal is to provide data to conduct analyses which can suggest ways in which policymakers might work to augment adult literacy competencies in the society in which they live and work. To do so, it is important to understand the determinants of literacy proficiency, how they may be implicated in the development of literacy from an individual lifecycle perspective, as well as how they may be implicated in development of national profiles of literacy proficiency as countries’ socio-demographic make-up, socio-cultural practices and economies change over time. As part of the PIAAC study, direct links were established with the International Adult Literacy Survey (IALS) conducted in the 1990s, which together now provide measures of literacy proficiency and a range of antecedents that are comparable over time and across countries. First results of the PIAAC study were reported in OECD (2013a) which included some analysis of the determinants of literacy proficiency. Similarly, Desjardins (2003) summarized results from an extensive analysis of the determinants of literacy on the basis of the IALS data. The purpose of this paper is to revisit research examining the determinants of literacy proficiency and specifically to examine further the underlying structure of the determinants from a lifecycle perspective as well as the trends in this structure at the macro level for countries that participated in both the PIAAC and IALS studies.
