Overview of Competenza: Adult Work Competencies
The COMPETENZA dataset provides current year proficiency assessments of adult competencies for more than 300 variables, although the key scores revolve around literacy, numeracy, and problem solving skills. The COMPETENZA dataset was created by applying sophisticated statistical techniques to the Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) released by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) of the US Department of Education. The PIAAC is "a household study conducted under the auspices of the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) to assess key cognitive and workplace skills needed for successful participation in 21st century society and the global economy."
The COMPETENZA dataset delivers reliable estimates of literacy, numeracy, and problem solving scores. In addition, the dataset gives estimates for variables related to work activities, work learning and skills used at work. Our documentation gives additional data about the COMPETENZA dataset together with a methodological summary. The dataset has been grouped by 3 work competency categories and several topics within each category.
