International Adult Literacy and Skills Survey (IALSS)- 2003

The 2003 International Adult Literacy and Skills Survey (IALSS) is the Canadian component of the Adult Literacy and Life Skills Survey (ALL). The main purpose of the survey was to find out how well adults used printed information to function in society. Survey data include background information (demographic, education, language, labour force, training, literacy uses, information and communication technology, income) and psychometric results of respondents' proficiency along four skill domains: prose and document literacy, numeracy and problem-solving.

This survey has two components:
1) International component: Adult Literacy and Life Skills Survey (ALL)
2) Canadian component: International Adult Literacy Survey (IALSS)

The data accessible in the DLI collection are from the international component, therefore will be accessible under ALL.

Once the data for the Canadian component become available, it will be accessible under IALSS.

In order to facilitate access, the two surveys on the FTP and web sites will be cross-referenced.
