Overview of Skillability:  Adult Life Skills

The SKILLABILITY 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 SKILLABILITY 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 SKILLABILITY dataset delivers reliable estimates of literacy, numeracy, and problem solving scores. In addition, the dataset gives estimates for variables related to technological skills, learning strategies, cultural engagement, political efficacy, social trust, and health issues.  The use of numeracy, reading and writing at home is also documented.  The dataset has been grouped by 6 proficiency levels.
