Survey of Adult Skills (PIAAC)

The most thorough and extensive international research study on adult skills

Organized by OECD

Supported by the Commission's DG Education and Culture

National Center

CERE

2008-2013

24 participating countries

17 ΕU members

Aim • The Survey of Adult Skills focuses on a broad empirical evidence

about key information processing skills of the working-age population, and about the role of education and training in shaping these skills.

They are necessary for fully integrating and participating in the labour market, education and training, and social and civic life.

Numeracy

Literacy

Problem solving in technology-rich environments

Work Situations

Social Contexts

in literacy, numeracy and problem solving in technology-rich environments.

166 thousand adults… Representing 724 million 16-65 year-olds in

24 countries/economies

Took an internationally agreed assessment…

The assessment was administered either in

computer-based or paper-based versions.

Page 6: Modestina Modestou, PhD Center for Educational Research ......more likely to attend adult learning activities. People with higher skills tend to have jobs that require more continuous

Sample sizes ranged from.. a minimum of approximately 4 500 to a

maximum of nearly 27 300.

The survey collected background

information of adults for about 40

minutes.

Respondents with very low literacy

skills were directed to a test of basic

“reading component” skills.

The survey also collected a range of

generic skills such as collaborating with

others and organising one’s time, required

of individuals in their work.

Key Information Processing Skills

Literacy

• Understand, evaluate, use and engage with written texts to participate in society.

• Encompasses a range of skills from..

• The decoding of written words and sentences

• The comprehension, interpretation and evaluation of complex texts.

Numeracy

• Access, use, interpret and communicate mathematical information and ideas

• Involves managing a situation or solving a problem in a real context, by responding to mathematical content represented in multiple ways.

Problem solving in technology-rich

environment

• Use digital technology communication tools and networks to acquire and evaluate information, communicate with others and perform practical tasks.

presented results.

1. 20% of the EU working age population has low literacy and low numeracy skills

About one in five European adults has only basic skills

Ability to complete tasks that involve:

very few steps

limited amounts of information

basic cognitive operations

& are presented in familiar contexts with little distracting information

2. Education and skills increase employability

Only half of EU adults with literacy skills at level 1 or below are employed (55%)

9% are unemployed, 36% are inactive

Prevalence of low skills among unemployed

Around one in four unemployed adult has low skills

3. The high-skilled are progressing well through adult learning, but not low achievers

An individual with high skills is, on average, five times more likely to attend adult learning activities.

People with higher skills tend to have jobs that require more continuous training, which in turn contributes to their skills.

20% of the population aged 16-65 (skills at level 1 and below) is caught in a 'low skills trap'

They probably will not manage to leave the group of low-skilled workers.

4. Countries differ significantly in the levels of skills provided through formal education

Across European countries, recent graduates with comparable qualifications show considerable differences in literacy and numeracy skills.

Outcomes of tertiary education are limited in some countries:

Literacy and numeracy skills are not far from those acquired in upper secondary education.

Educational attainment does not necessarily directly translate into high skills

5. One in four adults lacks the skills to effectively use ICTs for problem solving

This group can only solve very simple tasks in ICT environments or only has very basic to no computer experience.

People with highest use of ICT at the workplace score on average considerably higher (14 score points) on the literacy scale than those who do not use ICTs.

BUT

Intensive use of ICTs outside work does not necessarily translate into abilities to properly use ICTs as a means of solving problems.

6. Sustaining the skills of all adults throughout life: the case for lifelong learning

Skills are generally highest for the age group 25-34 and decrease steadily for older generations at EU and OECD levels.

Older generations in some countries have skills above EU average, quite close to skills acquired by younger generations.

7. Investing in education and training pays off. Positive economic and social outcomes of skills.

The outcomes of education and skills are significantly related to wages of individuals.

An increase of skills by around 40 points is linked with an increase in wages of 5-10%.

Skills have a significant effect on trust, social participation, political efficacy and health.

Adults with high levels of skills are twice as likely to participate in volunteering activities and show a higher level of political efficacy as low-skilled people.

Page 28: Modestina Modestou, PhD Center for Educational Research ......more likely to attend adult learning activities. People with higher skills tend to have jobs that require more continuous

Key findings 1. A considerable share of the workforce of EU17

countries is not sufficiently equipped with key information processing skills to successfully match the needs of today's changing labour markets.

2. Education and skills increase employability.

Low-skilled people have more difficulties to find employment.

Page 29: Modestina Modestou, PhD Center for Educational Research ......more likely to attend adult learning activities. People with higher skills tend to have jobs that require more continuous

Key findings 3. The high-skilled are progressing well through adult

learning, but people with low proficiency are easily caught in a 'low skills trap‘, as they are less likely to participate in learning activities.

4. Educational attainment does not necessarily directly translate into high skills.

Page 30: Modestina Modestou, PhD Center for Educational Research ......more likely to attend adult learning activities. People with higher skills tend to have jobs that require more continuous

Key findings 5. Too large a share of Europe's working age population,

regardless of age, is not sufficiently prepared to face the challenges and reap the advantages of the digital world.

6. The skills of a person tend to deteriorate over time if they are not used frequently.

7. Sustaining skills brings significant positive economic and social outcomes.

Page 32: Modestina Modestou, PhD Center for Educational Research ......more likely to attend adult learning activities. People with higher skills tend to have jobs that require more continuous

Looking beyond initial education… It is necessary to further broaden and develop

continuing education and training.

The system must provide flexible learning pathways and be more accessible.

Programmes for improving basic skills have to be:

Comprehensive

Connected to individuals' needs

With opportunities to learn and practice skills in real life situations (i.e. workplace)

Page 33: Modestina Modestou, PhD Center for Educational Research ......more likely to attend adult learning activities. People with higher skills tend to have jobs that require more continuous

In other words… For those still in education:

ensure open opportunities for enrolling in higher levels of education.

For those who drop out of education:

allow and encourage them to return and continue.

For those who left formal education with a low educational qualification but who have since then gained skills through non formal or informal learning:

strength the validation of skills and competences.
