Why should we think about literacy?

Social Problem Literacy Can Help!
Low literacy affects employment stability and opportunities. We need literacy skills to find employment and to keep employment.
Low literacy represents a massive loss of productivity in our labour market. We need literacy skills as a country to attract new businesses and to have success in the trade industry.
Low literacy could lead to crime and violence. We need literacy skills to empower us and to participate in our community.
Low literacy youth could become disadvantaged adults. We need literacy skills to seek options for a successful future.
Low literacy affects health. We need literacy skills to read prescriptions, directions and preventative information.
Low literacy people are less likely to vote. We need literacy skills to be informed and to participate in the democratic process.
