The Adult Literacy and Lifeskills Survey

The Adult Literacy and Lifeskills Survey (ALLS) is an international assessment that measures adults' reading, writing, numeracy, problem-solving, and digital skills. It aims to understand how well adults can use these skills in everyday life, at work, and in society. Conducted periodically, the survey helps policymakers identify strengths and gaps in adult education, guiding efforts to improve literacy and life skills essential for personal and economic development.
