Illiteracy continues to be a concern for many countries in the world today. What are the causes of illiteracy in the modern world and what effects does it have on the people concerned and society as a whole?

Nowadays some

people

prefer or are obliged not to continue their education or to be illiterate which can have tremendous effects on

society

and themselves. There seem to be two main causes for illiteracy, and a number of effects, which we will discuss here. Possibly the main cause is the increased volume of inflation and economic recession. Many

people

do not have the ability to meet daily requirements and they prefer working

instead

of continuing their higher education. A

further

well-known cause is school expenses that

people

can not afford to pay tuition. In some countries, governments have not provided a free education system for citizens and it leads to a huge challenge for the poverty-line community to send their children to school which leads to a rooted illiteracy in the

society

. The effects of

this

problem on

people

can be quite serious.

Firstly

, illiteracy can banish

people

from the educational environment.

This

can especially be damaging for children and adults because it harms their talents which could grow in the educational environment. A

further

, observed impact is

people

can not solve their problems without general knowledge and they regularly seek for another person to help them.

Finally

, there is the long-term impact on

society

. If

people

do not have the ability to read and write, it can devastate

society

’s culture. In conclusion, Inflation and expensive schools and universities seem to be the main causes, and they affect both

society

and

people

.
