Chile: Proportion of population achieving at least a fixed level of proficiency in functional literacy skills, both sexes
46.49percent · 2015
The percentage of youth and adults (15 years and above) who have achieved or exceeded a given level of proficiency in literacy. Functional literacy is defined by UIS as the capacity of a person to engage in all those activities in which literacy is required for effective function of his or her group and community and also for enabling him or her to continue to use reading, writing and calculation for his or her own and the community’s development. This indicator is collected via skills' assessment surveys of the adult population (e.g. the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC), the Skills Towards Employment and Productivity (STEP) Measurement programme, the Literacy Assessment Measurement Programme (LAMP) and national adult literacy and numeracy surveys. For more information, consult the UNESCO Institute of Statistics website: http://www.uis.unesco.org/Education/ Annual figures for Chile from 2015 to 2015.
