National Adult Literacy Database

Between October 2010 and August 2011, the Centre for Literacy of Quebec carried out a research project designed to gain a greater understanding of literacy and essential skills (LES) needs of Anglophone adults living in that province.

During the first part of the project, researchers reviewed existing literature, surveys, and unpublished data on the subject. In this document, they offer capsule summaries of a number of research projects on English-speaking communities in Quebec, selected to provide an introduction to the recent evolution of the Anglophone community in Quebec.

The summaries are organized according to themes, including demographic profiles; Aboriginal peoples; education and literacy; health care; promoting community vitality; and youth.
