General Survey on Human Habitat and Population
Explanation:
Data from the ESP concerning illiteracy indicates a national average rate of 68%, and corroborates data from the National Demographic and Health Survey ( Enquête Démographique et de Santé’) also indicating an average of 68%, while the General Survey on Human Habitat and Population ( Recensement Général de la Population et de l’Habitat’) gives an illiteracy rate of 69% for 1988. Illiteracy is higher among older persons (where those over 50 years age are 82% illiterate) and women (82%) than among men (63%). Further, the urban/rural split in illiteracy rates is marked, due to urban areas having social infrastructures favoring literacy.
