?:abstract
  • This paper focuses on issues, dilemmas and options for assessment of the numeracy skills of adults, associated with Target 4.6.11 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). That target calls on countries to ‘ensure that all youth and a substantial proportion of adults, both men and women, achieve literacy and numeracy’ by 2030. The paper presents ideas for a monitoring and assessment strategy that can satisfy common criteria, i.e. policy relevance, credibility, comparability, feasibility in data collection, and so forth.2. Methodologies developed for assessment of adult numeracy skills in high-income countries, e.g. as part of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Programme for International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC), are sometimes deemed inappropriate for lower-income countries, due to cost, necessary technical capacity, item content, and other factors. Hence, this paper assumes that countries interested in the numeracy monitoring process (hereafter, ‘target countries’) will be mainly those considered low- and middle-income, although some high-income countries may also be interested (according to the World Bank, at present there are 31 low-income, 53 lower-middle income and 56 upper-middle income countries, in addition to 78 high-income countries). Some of the same target countries may also opt to join PIAAC’s second cycle in 2021–2023. (xsd:string)
