Literacy
Definition
Percentage of the population age 65+ that is literate.
Method of Calculation
Data source specific method of calculation:
IPUMS:
The number of persons age 65 or older who are literate divided by the total population age 65 or older. Literate persons are identified using the IPUMS LIT variable. Censuses provide differing criteria with respect to the level of ability that should constitute literacy. These differences are generally evident in the varying wording of the instructions to the census enumerators. Typically, the instructions appear to be aimed at distinguishing persons who have memorized how to write their signature or recognize certain words from those that can truly write and comprehend text they read. Some samples identify "semi-literate" persons who can read but cannot write in the unharmonized source variables. In all samples those persons are considered illiterate in LIT.
