Conducted between 2003 and 2008, the Adult Literacy and Lifeskills (ALL) Survey was an international comparative study designed to provide participating countries, including the United States, 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 in participating countries in two rounds:  first, in 2003 and then again between 2006 and 2008.  The original seven countries/territories to participate in the first round were Bermuda, Canada, Italy, Norway, Nuevo Leon (Northern Mexico), Switzerland, and the United States.  Four countries participated in the second round: Australia, Hungary, Netherlands, and New Zealand.
