Key findings from the Second cycle of the OECD's Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC)

Korean adults (ages 16-65) have a mean score of 249 in language proficiency, 253 in numeracy, and 238 in problem-solving, which is lower than the OECD average.

When the analysis is limited to 16-24-year-olds, mean scores for language skills (276) and numeracy (273) are in line with OECD averages (273 for language skills and 272 for numeracy).
