The Survey of Adult Skills offers unique insights on adults’ proficiency in literacy, numeracy, and problem solving. These skills are crucial for both personal and societal success, and form the foundation for continuous learning and innovation.
In 2022-23, the survey assessed adults aged 16-65 in 31 countries and economies. England (United Kingdom) participated in the Survey of Adult Skills for the second time in 2022-23 (its first participation was in 2011-12). By comparing results over time and with those of other participating countries and economies, England (United Kingdom) can track the skill levels of its adult population, pinpoint barriers to skill development and use, and craft effective policies to address these challenges.
