Description

Definition
LIT2MN (MV155) indicates whether the man could read.

Persons with less than secondary school education were asked to demonstrate their literacy level by reading aloud a sentence on a card and were classified as "cannot read at all," "able to read only parts of sentence," and "able to read whole sentence." Those with secondary or higher schooling were presumed to have attained the highest literacy level.
