“…TIMSS, PIRLS and PISA have similar response rates and survey designs: the target population consists of students, and participants are selected through a two-stage sampling design, whereby schools are selected first and then students are sampled from selected schools. However, there are also important differences in the sampling design: TIMSS and PIRLS have a grade-based sampling strategy (effectively surveying 4 th grade students) that considers schools and classrooms as sampling units, while PISA has an age-based sampling (students who are between the ages of 15 years and three months and 16 years and two months at the time of testing) with schools as the primary sampling unit (OECD, 2002 [46]; Mullis et al, 2012 [47]; Mullis et al, 2012 [48]). The PIAAC target population is the non-institutionalised adult population living in the country.…”

“…Several studies using data from PIAAC and its two predecessor surveys have sought to address these issues. Barrett and Riddell (2016), Paccagnella (2016) and OECD (2017e) all show using PIAAC data that the age-cognitive skills profile peaks around the age of 30 before declining slowly among older cohorts. The data show, however, large dispersion in skills within age groups.…”

“…However, PIAAC data show that the propensity to engage in adult education and training declines slowly but steadily after it peaks in the mid-20s until the late 50s, after which it drops off steeply. Paccagnella (2016) notes that higher participation rates in adult education and training, while they show a positive correlation with higher average skills proficiency, are not effective in reducing the age-related drop in proficiency levels. He explains this by the fact that countries with high rates of participation in lifelong learning are those where the rate declines more steeply with age.…”

“…Ce résultat suggère que le fait de ne pas être contraint d'utiliser ses compétences dans le cadre de son travail entraîne une diminution progressive de l'intensité d'usage dans la vie quotidienne et, qu'à l'inverse, le fait d'y être contraint renforce peu à peu la tendance à les utiliser intensément dans la vie quotidienne. Ce résultat pourrait aussi être une des explications de la diminution des compétences observée après 50 ans (OCDE, 2016 [1] ) et de la plus grande dispersion des scores en numératie parmi la tranche d'âge des 54-65 ans (Paccagnella, 2016 [14] ), indépendamment d'un éventuel déclin cognitif. Cette hypothèse a également le mérite d'expliquer pourquoi l'âge est une variable explicative significative de l'intensité des pratiques dans la vie quotidienne mais beaucoup moins dans la vie professionnelle.…”

“…La définition de la culture financière de l'OCDE, approuvée par les chefs d'État et de gouvernement du G20 en 2012 (OCDE/INFE, 2012 [38] ) a été déclinée en une approche plus opérationnelle pour pouvoir être mesurée par l'intermédiaire d'enquêtes. Ainsi, pour le Programme international pour le suivi des acquis des élèves (PISA), la culture financière renvoie plutôt à "la connaissance et à la compréhension des concepts et risques financiers ainsi qu'aux compétences, à la motivation et à la confiance nécessaires pour utiliser cette connaissance et cette compréhension pour prendre des décisions fondées dans un large éventail de contextes financiers, pour améliorer le bien-être financier des individus et de la société, et pour participer activement à la vie économique" (OCDE, 2014 [39] ).…”
