Explanation: The chart shows a clear positive correlation—countries with higher literacy rates tend to have higher GDP per capita and better living standards. Literacy improves people’s skills, employability and productivity, which raises incomes and access to health and services. (Keep in mind this is a correlation; other factors—natural resources, inequality, governance and education quality—also affect standard of living and can create exceptions.)
