The United Nations, which defines illiteracy as the inability to read and write simple message in any language, has conducted à number of surveys on world illiteracy . In the first survey , in 1957 at least44 % of the world 's popula- tion were found to be illiterate, A 1978 study showed the rate to have dropped to 32.5 % , by 1990 illiteracy worldwide had dropped to about .27 % , and by 1998 to.16 % . However , , astudy ( by the : United Nations : Children 's Fund (UNICEF ) published in 1998 predicted that the world illiteracy rate would increase in the 21st century because only a quarter of the world's children got schooling by the end of the 20th century. The highest lliteracy rates were found in the less developed nations of África, Asia, and South America; the lowest. in Australia Japan, North Korea, and the more technologically advanced nations of Europe and North America. Using the UN definition of illiteracy, the United States and Canada have an overall illiteracy rateof about 10 % . In certain disadvan- taged areas, however; süch as the rural South in the United States, the sillit- eracy rate is much higher.
