Resumo: Do more democratic countries have higher literacy rates? In this work, we seek to answer this question and, for that, we selected a sample of 54 developing countries distributed among Africa, America and the Caribbean. For this endeavor, we used the indicators per capita income, democracy index, Human Development Index and literacy rate for the year 2015. After analyzing the data, we found a strong correlation between Literacy and HDI (r = 0.847; p = 6.564E-016), moderate correlation between literacy rate and democracy (r = 0.502; p = 0.000108) and correlation between GDP per capita and Literacy was not significant (r = 0.337; p = 0.005).

En este trabajo buscamos responder a esta pregunta y, para ello, seleccionamos una muestra de 54 países en desarrollo distribuidos entre África, América y el Caribe. Para este esfuerzo, utilizamos los indicadores ingreso per cápita, índice de democracia, índice de desarrollo humano y tasa de alfabetización para el año 2015. Después de analizar los datos, encontramos una fuerte correlación entre la alfabetización y el IDH (r = 0,847; p = 6,564E- 016), correlación moderada entre tasa de alfabetización y democracia (r = 0,502; p = 0,000108) y correlación entre PIB per cápita y Alfabetización no fue significativa (r = 0,337; p = 0,005).Países mais democráticos têm taxas mais elevadas de alfabetização? Nesse trabalho procuramos responder essa questão e, para isso, selecionamos uma amostra de 54 países em desenvolvimento distribuídos entre África, América e Caribe. Para tal empreitada utilizamos os indicadores renda per capita, democracy index, Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano e taxa de alfabetização para o ano de 2015. Após a análise dos dados encontramos forte correlação entre Alfabetização e IDH (r = 0.847; p = 6,564E-016), moderada correlação entre taxa de alfabetização e democracia (r = 0.502; p = 0.000108) e correlação entre o PIB per capita e Alfabetização foi pouco significativa (r = 0.337; p = 0.005).Research, Society and Development2022-06-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/3042010.33448/rsd-v11i7.30420Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 No. 7; e55211730420Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 Núm. 7; e55211730420Research, Society and Development; v. 11 n. 7; e552117304202525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/30420/26160Copyright (c) 2022 Fábio Francisco de Almeida Castilho; Geórgia Valéria Andrade Loureiro Nunes; Pedro Simonard; Maria Carolina de Almeida Castilho; Daniel Oliveira da Silvahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCastilho, Fábio Francisco de Almeida Nunes, Geórgia Valéria Andrade LoureiroSimonard, PedroCastilho, Maria Carolina de Almeida Silva, Daniel Oliveira da 2022-06-06T15:12:05Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/30420Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:47:10.803213Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false
