One would think that literacy (ability to read) would improve ones chances to work at better paying jobs, so a positive correlation would result. That is the conclusion of the web link I provided. I do not claim it to be impartial, as it is from a website that promotes literacy. I don't have know of a study that concludes there is a negative correlation. If illiteracy percentages are calculated and then compared to per capita GDP for particular country, a negative correlation could result.

Is income a ratio or interval scale measurement?

Income is a ratio measure. In ratio measures, one can order categories, specify the difference between two categories, and the value of zero on the variable represents the absence of the variable. Thus, income can take on values of $0, $10, $30,000, etc. Zero dollar income means the absence of income, making income a ratio measurement.


Is income a type of ordinal data?

Possibly... It depends on how you code income. If income is listed as an actual amount of money earned within a year, then it is interval data because there is a measurable difference between the income of one person vs the income of a second person. For example, one person might make $25,000 and another might make $26,000. We know that the first person makes exactly $1,000 less than person 2. We also know that person 2 makes more than person 1. If I have 10 people and I call the richest person "1" the second richest person "2", etc. Then the numbers 1 - 10 are ordinal data for "income". Notice that Ordinal data does not give us any measurable distance between two people. Income "5" might be $1 more than income "6". But Income 7 might be $10,000 less than income "6". All we know with ordinal data is that 1 is larger than 2, 2 is larger than 3, etc.

How are literacy rate and standard of living related?

If a person is unable to read or write they are unable to get a better job. Many jobs require a person to read directions, labels, forms, books, and manuals as well as fill out forms and reports. Not being able to do these things means a person has to do a lower level job, thus, making less money and they will live a lower standard of living. The literacy rate of an area, state, or country affects the standard of living by raising it. This is because there are more, better, and more advanced jobs open to a individual or population that has a higher literacy rate, especially high-paying jobs. The socio-economic classes are also affected by literacy rate. A lower literacy rate can increase the gap between them. If the level of literacy is increasing, it improves the standard of living too due to the good job opportunities and good income. this allows people to fullfill all the basic needs of the home and also other refreshments too. If there are more educated people, there is less poverty, crime, etc. Basically, the higher the literacy rate, the higher the standard of living
