Explanation: The table and the text show a general positive correlation—countries with higher literacy rates tend to have higher GDP per capita and better living standards. Literacy improves skills, employability and productivity, which supports higher incomes, better health and economic development. Note this is a general trend (correlation), and individual exceptions can occur for specific countries.
