{"Image DocumentName": "Socioeconomic Gradients for Adult Document Literacy Scores", "Image ImageDescription": "Mean Scores Intern\u2019l Mean. U.S Canada. Australia This chart from the OECD report (2000) on literacy, ages 16 to 65 years, in developed countries shows that if you plot literacy competence of a population against parents\u2019 level of education, the mean values for each individual in relation to parents\u2019 education are a gradient. Canada and Australia have more than one-third of their population below the OECD International Mean for developed countries. The gradients for Sweden and Finland\u2019s populations do not fall below the International Mean. It is clear that the population in Sweden and Finland have more equity in literacy than Canada, Australia, and the United States. Obviously, these three countries could establish more equity in literacy competence. In contrast, Chile\u2019s (a developing country), gradient values are below the international mean for developed countries. Sweden Finland.
