higher literacy rates are an indication of general education, which in turn affects the skill set of jobs and type of economy we have (primary, secondary, tertiary, etc.). The more educated we are, the more developed our economy. Primary level economy (agriculture based) leads to a secondary economy (industry, factory working). Secondary economies require a higher education, and a tertiary (service economy, such as lawyers) economy requires an even higher education.
