7 ASIA LITERACY RATES & STANDARDS OF LIVING
Literacy, or the ability to read and write, has a big effect on the standard of living of a country. Lack of education also prevents many young people from becoming the engineers, doctors, scientists, or business managers that modern economies need in order to bring improvements to their countries.

8 ASIA LITERACY RATES & STANDARDS OF LIVING
In many parts of the world, education is only available to those who can afford to pay for themselves. In those countries, the literacy rate is often low. Countries that have stronger economies usually make money available so that anyone who wants an education can go to school.

9 ASIA LITERACY RATES & STANDARDS OF LIVING
One way to measure the standard of living is the Gross Domestic Product, or GDP. The GDP is the value of all goods and services produced within a country in a given year and converted into United States dollars for comparison.

10 ASIA LITERACY RATES & STANDARDS OF LIVING
When converted into a value per capita (or per person), it can be used as a measure of the living conditions in a country. The higher the GDP value, the better the living conditions in the country.

11 ASIA LITERACY RATES & STANDARDS OF LIVING
Southern and Eastern Asia offer some interesting contrasts. Many parts of Southern and Eastern Asia, especially those areas where there are fewer cities and towns, have lower literacy rates than found in Europe or the United States.

12 ASIA LITERACY RATES & STANDARDS OF LIVING
Higher rates of literacy are usually found in countries that are the wealthy. In Southern and Eastern Asia, some countries have weak economies but very high literacy rates. Two such countries are China and North Korea. Both have strong state-run education systems that require attendance through a certain age.

13 ASIA LITERACY RATES & STANDARDS OF LIVING
Even though these economies lag behind the rest of the region in some areas, literacy is a national priority. China has some of the richest and poorest people in Eastern Asia. Even with the wide range of incomes, basic literacy is a primary goal for the Chinese government.
