Abstract: The International Adult Literacy and Lifeskills Survey

literacy and numberacy performancy of adults from around the world. The
IALLS will be administered in the general household population aged 16-
65 and in selected federally-funded adult education programs. The IALLS
household assessment will provide a detailed picture of the literacy
and numeracy skills of U.S. adults compared to adults in other
countries. The IALLS adult education program assessment will show the
literacy skills of the adults enrolled in adult education programs and
how they differ from the U.S. general population and international
populations.
