The Rise of Americans Falling Behind in Basic Skills
Recent data reveals that many U.S. adults are struggling with basic skills, particularly in literacy and numeracy. A global survey ranked the U.S. 14th in literacy, 15th in adaptive problem solving, and alarmingly, 24th in numeracy among 31 industrialized nations. Over one-third of U.S. participants failed to show skills expected of a primary school student, which reflects a downward trend since the last assessment in 2017. Factors contributing to this decline include an aging population and the distraction of social media, with many adults reportedly reading less than in previous decades.
