Literacy in Canada: disparity between francophones and anglophones
"The international Adult Literacy Survey of 1994 is an important source of information about the literacy levels of Canadians as well as the factors that can explain the disparities between certain sub-populations. The current study shows and tries to explain some of the disparities between Francophones and Anglophones in Canada."

"This study, available today, analyses the disparities in literacy levels between francophones and anglophones in Canada. It is based on data from the 1994 International Adult Literacy Survey (IALS), the development and management of which were co-ordinated by Statistics Canada.
Like many earlier surveys, the 1994 IALS identified sizable differences in literacy levels between francophones and anglophones. With respect to their performance on all three scales of literacy (prose, document, or quantitative literacy), francophones did less well on skill tests than anglophones."
