Hi all,
I thought this was discussed on a list in the past....but I sure can't 
find it!

Can someone refer me to a recent study or (up-to-date) statistic on 
what percentage of women use literacy services or are enrolled in 
literacy programs? I have 60% in my head - but don't think that's 
correct. As I recall, 1992 NALS covers % or women and their literacy 
levels, but I want to know how many women are actually using literacy 
services relative to men.

I'm specifically looking for women in programs as compared to men...AND 
(if possible) how many women enrolled as compared to how many COULD use 
the services or are sitting on waiting lists.
thanks.
Mev
