Literacy is the ability to read and write and the ability to identify, interpret, understand, create, communicate, compute and use written, and printed materials associated with varying contexts. It allows individuals to achieve their goals and develop their knowledge and abilities. Literacy elevates individuals out of poverty by giving them access to better paying jobs, raises self-esteem and empowers women and girls. Low literacy limits an individual’s ability to access and understand important information, increased unemployment, lower paying jobs, and lack of employment advancement. A lack of literacy can also affect society socially and economically. The more adults with low literacy lead to lower overall long-term economic GDP growth rate, a reduced level of community involvement and community participation, and increased taxpayer expenses due to more unemployment compensation and welfare compensation.
