Abstract:
The OECD’s new international Survey of Adult Skills aims to help countries secure better skills policies by measuring the basic skills of adults in 24 countries and demonstrating how these skills relate to economic and social outcomes. This report sits alongside the main international report on the Survey and explores the main results from the United States in greater depth. It underlines how the U.S. compares with other
countries and what this means for policy-making.
