This March 2011 report from the National Adult Literacy Agency (NALA) in Ireland summarises and discusses research on adult literacy policies and initiatives in Australia, Canada, Finland, New Zealand, Scotland, Sweden, the United Kingdom (England), and the USA. Initiatives and countries were chosen based on their relevance to the Irish context. In all countries chosen, as well as at European level, the importance of good adult literacy to economic, social and personal well-being continues to grow, as skills in general and literacy in particular become more important.
