rates for youth after 1995. There would be only slight. differences between theresults of the Lower-gro\rCh and higher-grorth scenarios by the year 2000, butsubstantial differences by 2010. Althougb the differences between the two scenarios, shonn in table 41, nay seen relatively modest, the total popuLation aged 15 to 19 will be far larger in the year 2000 tban in 1980 or even 1990, so that.snall incremenls in the literacy rate reDresenc additional nillions of literateyouth. 256. The llteracy raEes for adults aged 15 and over have been projected to 1990, based on the corresponding adult literacy rates in 1980 and on the projectedliteracy rates for youth aged 15 to 19 in 1990. 4Ol Because the literacy rates for youth in 1990 are the same under the dlfferent. scenarios for economic groeth, theadult literacy races in 1990 are also not affected by the differences between thescenarios, The adult literacy rate in 1990 will be about 88 per cent for males inthe upper-incone oil-inporting countries, but only 41 per cent for females in the low-incone countries and only 27 per cent for females in the least d€velopedcountries (see table 41) .^/\o /5L9 zuIish rage rto Table 4I.
