According to The Adult Literacy and Life Skills Survey,which is a joint project of the Government of Canada, the US National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), in Canada, almost 60% of adults aged between 16 to 65,had top three skills level:prose, document and numeracy. Meanwhile, the survey indicated that, generally, young people are better than olders in literacy performance. Among the countries that took part in the survey, Canada was in the middle position, a little bit better than America, but ranked after Norway and Bermuda.
As the survay showed,literacy performance had a large impact on people's earnings in all countries. Those who had higher scores could do better in their work and when experience unemployment, they could exit earlier than those who have lower scores.
As a result, we should pay more attention to our literacy performance, and try to improve the quality to survive in the competitions.
