This review examined the literature from 2006 to 2009 as a follow up to a comprehensive report on international Workplace Literacy & Basic Skills, published by Alison Gray for the government of New Zealand in 2007. This review was written by researcher Maria Salomon as background for The Centre for Literacy’s 2009 Summer Institute and revised based on feedback from Institute participants. It has been edited by the staff at The Centre.
Thanks also to the Department of Labour, Government of New Zealand, researcher John Benseman, and to everyone who contributed to this effort.
