READI N G COMPREHEN S ION
Read the passage and check () whether the following statements are true or false Low levels of literacy skills’ among workers are hindering the competitiveness of North American businesses in today’s globalized and information-focused world Employers are wondering whether these problems are actually relevant to their own firms As a result of a research project on the relationship between literacy supply and demand in Canadian employment, we have created a strategy for employers to use to assess their level of risk before undertaking expensive and difficult in-depth studies of their firms Literacy supply refers to the literacy skills of workers or potential workers while literacy demand refers to the requirement for literacy skills in specific jobs Our project addresses ways in which actual problems can be identified through matching
literacy supply with literacy demand While this paper quotes mainly Canadian sources on this issue, the problem, we consider, is common to the United States and, indeed, to most industrialized countries.We know a lot about the literacy skills of the Canadian population and workforces, and the news has not been good A series of national and international surveys have actually tested samples of Canadians on their literacy and numeracy abilities These studies strongly suggest that a substantial proportion of the Canadian workforce has, at best, basic literacy skills and, at worst, inadequate abilities to handle everyday literacy and numeracy tasks From the literacy supply side we have been led to believe that we have a serious problem It is widely argued that low levels of literacy skills are harming the productivity of Canadian business now and represent a barrier to the restructuring firms need to remain competitive in the future
