PIAAC (Survey of Adult Skills) Publications
Publication Details
New Zealand participated in the OECD's Survey of Adult Skills in 2014. This is part of the OECD's Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC).
Internationally, it is the most comprehensive survey of adult skills ever undertaken. Through interviews with a representative sample of respondents aged 16-65 in each participating country, PIAAC assesses literacy and numeracy skills, and ability to solve problems in technology-rich environments. It builds on previous international surveys of adult skills, allowing literacy levels to be compared over a 20 year period for some countries.
