Abstract

Increasingly the world is becoming aware of adult illiteracy. Its extent may still surprise many people—in 1970 there were 783 million illiterate adults throughout the world, at least one million of whom were living in the United Kingdom—but what should really give us reason to pause are the social and economic implications of the problem.
