"Literacy – the ability to access and apply information gleaned from the printed word – is known from research studies to enable individual access to social and economic systems, and to play a key role in overall development. The level and distribution of adult literacy in the population influence long term economic growth and are associated with large differences in employment, wages, health, access to learning opportunities, and participation in broader society. Canada's level of adult literacy is comparatively high yet many citizens fail to reach the threshold level of skill required to contribute fully."
