International adult literacy survey
Abstract
The International Adult Literacy Survey (IALS) was a seven-country initiative conducted in the
fall of 1994. Its goal was to create comparable literacy profiles across national, linguistic and
cultural boundaries. Successive waves of the survey now encompass close to 30 countries around
the world.
This monograph series features detailed studies from the IALS database by literacy scholars and
experts in Canada and the United States. The research is primarily funded by Human Resources
Development Canada. Monographs focus on current policy issues and cover topics such as adult
training, literacy skill match and mismatch in the workplace, seniors' literacy skills and health,
literacy and economic security, and many others.
