Georgia: Literacy rate, youth female (% of females ages 15-24)

Key figures

What the numbers say

From 2017 to 2024 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 4% of the movement over 8 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.

What this measures

Youth literacy rate is the percentage of people ages 15-24 who can both read and write with understanding a short simple statement about their everyday life.

Limitations: In practice, literacy is difficult to measure. Estimating literacy rates requires census or survey measurements under controlled conditions. Many countries report the number of literate people from self-reported data. Some use educational attainment data as a proxy but apply different lengths of school attendance or levels of completion. And there is a trend among recent national and international surveys toward using a direct reading test of literacy skills. Because definitions and methods of data collection differ across countries, data should be used cautiously.

Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
