Notes

GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
A person is considered literate if they can both read and write and not just one or the other. A semi-literate person (one who can read, but cannot write) is said to be illiterate.
In the case where the survey asks only whether a person can read but does not ask if they can write, and in case there no information in the questionnaire about the reading and writing ability literacy cannot be determined, these are coded as missing.
If there are no questions about the read and write ability but the educational attainment is elementary or upper the individual is considered literate
