Answer:

Literacy is the ability to read, write, speak and listen in a way that lets us communicate effectively and make sense of the world.

Age structure reflects the proportions of individuals at different life stages. This variable is an important indicator of population status.

Population composition is the description of a population according to characteristics such as age and sex. These data are often compared over time using population pyramids.
