Abstract: The National Center for

Management and Budget approval to 

survey adults (16–65 years old) for the 

2011/12 administration of the Program 

for the International Assessment of 

Adult Competencies (PIAAC) main data 

collection. PIAAC is coordinated by the 

Organization for Economic Cooperation 

and Development 

(http://www.oecd.org/) and sponsored 

by the U.S. Departments of Education 

and Labor in the United States. PIAAC 

is the Organization for Economic 

Cooperation and Development’s 

(OECD’s) new international household 

study of adults’ literacy, numeracy, and 

problem-solving in technology-rich 

environments. It will also survey 

respondents about their education and 

employment experience and about the 

skills they use at work. PIAAC builds on 

previous international literacy 

assessments: the 2002 Adult Literacy 

and Lifeskills Survey and the 1994–98 

International Adult Literacy Survey. 

PIAAC is expected to be on a 10-year 

cycle. In 2011, 26 countries, including 

23 OECD-member countries, plan to 

participate. The U.S. PIAAC main study 

will occur between September 2011 and 

March 2012.
