Finalmente quando l'Italia fa squadra, dal Comune alla Provincia alla Regione all'intero Paese, può raggiungere traguardi importanti. Oggi 31 marzo 2008 è ufficiale: Milano ospiterà l'Expo 2015. Festeggiamo!... e speriamo sia anche l'occasione per rilanciare l'intera città e il territorio dell'interland milanese: abbiamo sete di modernità, innovazione, internazionalità, di sviluppo, vero!!

Re da Bar Sport...
Cifre, statistiche, numeri, in Italia vengono spesso manipolati... ma un'attenzione a studi comperativi internazionali a volte potrebbero essere fondamentali per impostare politiche a lungo termine che purtroppo nol nostro paese sono sempre più rare. Ad esempio inosservato è passato lo studio comparativo Adult Literacy and Lifeskills Survey.
Purtroppo la posizione è defilata a ragione di una popolazione da Bar sport: lingua italiana non correta e difficoltà nei calcoli. Dopo tutto sono gli stereotipi che ci forniscono i media: calcio, veline, soldi, droga e rock&roll.
The Adult Literacy and Lifeskills Survey (ALL) is an international comparative study conducted in 2003 to provide participating countries with information about the skills of their adult populations. ALL measured the literacy and numeracy skills of a nationally representative sample of 16- to 65-year olds from six participating countries (Bermuda, Canada, Italy, Norway, Switzerland, and the United States). Literacy is defined as the knowledge and skills needed to understand and use information from text and other written formats. Numeracy applies to the knowledge and skills required to manage mathematical demands of diverse situations. A second phase of ALL, in which additional countries are collecting data, is currently under way. This will allow for a greater number of country comparisons.
ALL builds upon earlier national and international studies of adult literacy.1 Information from ALL addresses questions such as:
* What is the distribution of literacy and numeracy skills among American adults? How do these skill distributions compare to those of other countries?
* What is the relationship between these literacy skills and the economic, social, and personal characteristics of individuals? For example: Do different age or linguistic groups manifest different skill levels? Do males and females perform differently? At what kinds of jobs do people at various literacy levels work? What wages do they earn? How do adults who have completed different levels of education perform?
* What is the relationship between these skills and the economic and social characteristics of nations? For example, how do the skills of the adult labor force of a country match with areas of the economy that are growing?
The purpose of this Issue Brief is to provide selected initial findings from ALL, so the Issue Brief will address only some of these questions. For further results from ALL, see Learning a Living: First Results of the Adult Literacy and Life Skills Survey (Statistics Canada and Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development 2005). A technical report for ALL, which describes in detail the procedures used in the design, data collection, quality control, and analysis for the study, is also forthcoming.
