Are you interested in learning about the demographic characteristics, literacy skills, and numeracy skills of low-skilled adults? This session will include two presentations that focus on the reading and numeracy skills of the low-skilled adults assessed in PIAAC. Participants will learn about the literacy, numeracy, and demographic items used in PIAAC and about response differences between low-skilled adults who are employed and those who are not in the workforce and between low-skilled adults in the general population and in the incarcerated population.
