solving skills, and to collect information
on individuals’ skill use and
background. In the United States,
PIAAC is conducted by the National
Center for Education Statistics (NCES).
PIAAC defines four core competency
domains of adult cognitive skills seen as
key to facilitating the social and
economic participation of adults in
advanced economies: Literacy, reading
components, numeracy, and problem
solving in technology-rich
environments. PIAAC also surveys
adults on their education background,
work history, the skills they use on the
job and at home, their civic engagement,
and sense of their health and well-being.
The results are used to compare
participating countries on the skills
capacities of their workforce-aged adults
and to learn more about relationships
between educational background,
employment, and other outcomes.
PIAAC is coordinated by the
Organization for Economic Cooperation
and Development (OECD) and
developed by participating countries
with the support of the OECD. U.S.
participated in the PIAAC Main Study
data collection in 2012, conducted a
national supplement in 2014, and in
this submission requests to conduct the
PIAAC 2017 National Supplement data
collection from February to September
2017 with a nationally representative
sample of 3,800 adults ages 16–74, in a
new sample of 80 primary sampling
units (PSUs).
