How is the lower literacy rate responsible for consumer exploitation?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
Consumers need information in order to make optimal economic choices. Without the ability to read, economic actors may find gathering important information more difficulty and costly, therefore acquiring less information. Without this information, they are more easily lead into irrational decisions which may not be to their benefit.
Note: the word 'exploitation' is loaded, so I recommended against its use in this case.
