“…Indeed, law enforcement and even civic duties, such as tax returns, require high-level literacy skills. Moreover, these skills are highly valorized on the job market, not only because they are formally required for any skilled employment, but also because they are crucial in the development of more complex communication and reasoning skills (Carey 2014;OECD 2012).…”

The concept of literacy, as defined in this article, is broader than just being able to read or write. Specifically, literacy skills here refers to the "the ability to understand, evaluate, use and engage with written texts to participate in society, to achieve one's goals, and to develop one's knowledge and potential" (OECD 2013, p. 20). Indeed, as part of its Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC), the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), in collaboration with many experts, has refined the measurement of adult literacy skills by conceptualizing

This paper presents the results of literacy-proficiency projections using a microsimulation model that simultaneously projects future demographic, ethnocultural and socioeconomic characteristics of the Canadian population. Factors linked with literacy skills of the working-age population are analysed for both native-and foreign-born Canadians. The projection results show that literacy skills are likely to slightly decline between 2011 and 2061, as the positive effects of increasing education are cancelled out by the important skill gap between native-and foreign-born Canadians. Results of the simulation suggest that plausible changes to immigrant selection policies could prevent against the associated literacy skill decline among the Canadian working-age population.
