Effects of Functional Illiteracy on the Living Conditions of Households in Congo

This research’s objective was to analyze 
the effect of functional illiteracy on households’ living conditions in 
Congo-Brazzaville. It was based on an adaptation of games’ theory proposed by Rubinstein (1996). The study used data from the 4th general census of the Congo 
population and housing in 2007 (National Institute of Statistics, 2007), which 
includes a population of 632,502 heads of households aged 15 - 64 at the time 
of the census. Analyses were conducted with a simultaneous equation system 
using the Conditional Mixed Process (CMP) algorithm developed by Roodman 
(2011). Results show that functional illiteracy significantly contributes to 
the precariousness of household living conditions. This result supports the 
essential place of education and the mastery of literacy and numeracy in the 
fight against poverty.
