Title: Literacy Rate, Adult Total for Middle Income Countries Series ID: SEADTLITRZSMIC Source: World Bank Release: World Development Indicators (Not a Press Release) Seasonal Adjustment: Not Seasonally Adjusted Frequency: Annual Units: Percent of People Ages 15 and Above Date Range: 1975-01-01 to 2022-01-01 Last Updated: 2023-10-31 2:12 PM CDT Notes: Adult (15+) literacy rate (%). Total is the percentage of the population age 15 and above who can, with understanding, read and write a short, simple statement on their everyday life. Generally, 'literacy' also encompasses 'numeracy', the ability to make simple arithmetic calculations. This indicator is calculated by dividing the number of literates aged 15 years and over by the corresponding age group population and multiplying the result by 100.
