The comparative increases in the enrolment rates for boys and girls aged5 to u are projected, in each of the scenarios, according to a well-definedrelationship between these enrolment rates and the so_called ,,grossfi primaryenrolment raqe, which ls the total enrolment in a country,s primary schools(including a substantial number of chirdren oraer than rs"-ri,-".i'"nv"una".age 6) divided by the population aqed 6 to ll. After 1995, the aalurt literacy rates would begin to vary under the differentscenarios as a result of the differences in the youth r.iteracy rates after 1995.But by the year 2000, only the younger adults rrould have benefited from theeffects on enrolment of higher growih after 19g5. Therefore, the differencesbetween the adult literacy rates under the higher and the rolrer-grotrth scenariosare quite small - less than 1 per cent. Even these relatively smarr differences,however, represent additional mirlions of literate adults, and the absoruce andpercentage differences oould increase rapidly after the year 2000,A/4o/5L9 Eng 1i stl Page ll5 253. Under tbe higher-grorrth scenario, the upper-lncome oil-irnporEing econonies tould come cloae to full enrolment (100 per Cent) for boys and girls by the year 2000, and the lon-lncome countries vrouLd reach about 80 per cent enrolnent for boys and 6l per ceht for girls. The rates in th€ oiL-exporting countries would be 93 per cent for boys and 88 per cent for girls. Hoeever, in the least develoPed economies the enrolment of girls would reach only 38 per cent and the enrolment of boys would te only 55 per cent, indicating a need for special policy measures at
