Definition: Illiterate person
Category: Population censuses - UNECE
An illiterate person is a person who cannot, with understanding, both read and write a short, simple statement on his everyday life. Hence, a person capable of reading and writing only figures and his/her own name should be considered illiterate, as should a person who can read but not write and one who can read and write only a ritual phrase which has been memorized. http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/ramon/statmanuals/files/2000_censuses_ECE_region_EN.pdf#page=44
