School attendance was mandatory from the very start. The first colonial law was in 1635. Actually, people were fairly literate and mandatory attendance had little to do with it. Today 25% of the population is illiterate.
The results of a sample survey show that out of 600 literate people, 350 are employed whereas out of 500 illiterate people, only 260 are employed. Will more sample surveys be able to depict the same difference between the proportions of persons employed?

During the Renaissance period, the majority of the population was illiterate. Literacy rates varied across social classes, with the nobility and clergy being more likely to be literate compared to peasants and commoners. Education was often reserved for the wealthy and privileged, while the lower classes had limited access to schooling.
"People who are illiterate cannot completely fulfill their roles as citizens." "In some Third World countries, more than 90% of the population is illiterate." "A program was set up to help illiterate migrant workers learn how to read and write."
Illiterate people: are people not able to read or write.

Loss of productivityCrime Rateit's been observed that crimes committed by illiterate ones are more in number as compared to the literate ones. Because uneducated people have no skill in their hand nor they have education to earn money. So it seems easy to them to commit a crime because it's the easiest way to earn money. So illiteracy gives birth to crime.Low Health IssuesAs illiterate people are unaware of the hygienic factors and personal hygiene matters so they are often caught up by different diseases.

I think it's more divorced people because most people who get married, their relationships never last long and they never work out... ^ Hmmm in response to the answer above i don't believe this is true. There are plentyof people who have gotten divorced but plently who haven't. Many traditional people dont believe in divorce and therefore never have it , thisshows that most likely at the moment more people are married than divorced. My parents have been married for 25 years , theirs over 50.
