Content from: TheFutureEconomy.ca January 20, 2025 The PIAAC (Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies) survey measures adult proficiency in literacy, numeracy, and adaptive problem-solving across countries. Despite increased educational attainment globally, PIAAC results show that skill levels, particularly in literacy, have not improved significantly, with a noticeable decline in some nations. Canada performed above the OECD average in all skill domains, with younger adults (25-34) showing the highest proficiency. The survey also highlights the importance of adaptive problem-solving skills, which are crucial for success in today’s rapidly changing job market, particularly in the face of technological advancements. However, the findings stress the need to address widening skill gaps, particularly for vulnerable populations such as those in rural, remote, and Indigenous communities, who face barriers to education and training. Policymakers are urged to prioritize accessible and flexible training opportunities, foster collaboration between employers, the public sector, and trade unions, and integrate both technical and soft skills into educational frameworks to ensure equitable and effective workforce development.
