NALA factsheet on comparisons – OECD Survey of Adult Skills

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Survey of Adult Skills 2023 assesses literacy and numeracy skills of adults aged 16 to 65. Having literacy or numeracy needs means you would score at or below Level 1 (out of 5 levels) in this survey. This factsheet by the National Adult Literacy Agency (NALA) compares Ireland’s 2023 results with previous surveys and with other countries. The survey was run by the Central Statistics Office (CSO) in Ireland.
