The standards for what level constitutes "literacy" vary among societies. In modern contexts, the word means reading and writing in a level adequate for written communication and generally a level that enables one to successfully function at certain levels of a society if that society is one in which literacy plays a role in providing access to power.
In the United States, one in seven people (more than 40 million people) can barely read a job offer or utility bill, which arguably makes them functionally illiterate in a developed country such as the US.

Percentage of citizens over 18 who cannot read and write over a fourth-grade level (that is the definition in America; I'm not sure if other countries have different methods of defining or measuring).
