The international PIAAC survey (Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies) is part of a large-scale undertaking of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development(OECD) to assess and monitor key adult competencies and hereby inform policy decisions. Countries participating in the first cycle of PIAAC conduct a large-scale assessment of literacy, numeracy, and problem solving in technology-rich environments1 together with the administration of a background questionnaire. This questionnaire covers numerous antecedents of skills as well as economic and social outcomes. National Project Managements for PIAAC are required to adhere to a strict and elaborate set of standards and guidelines in order to ensure a high quality of data and the comparability of the results. The 24 countries participating in the first round of PIAAC (including Germany) carried out their data collection in 2011/2012 (referred to as PIAAC 2012).2 The international results were made public in October 2013 (OECD, 2013; Rammstedt, 2013) and were taken up by a wide audience. The international Public Use Files are available at the OECD website.
