ABOUT THIS PUBLICATION

This publication presents information from the 2006 Adult Literacy and Life Skills Survey (ALLS).

The ALLS provides information on knowledge and skills of 15 to 74 year olds in the following four domains: prose literacy, document literacy, numeracy and problem solving. A fifth domain measuring health literacy proficiency was produced as a by-product of the above domains.
