Literacy rate, adult total (% of people ages 15 and above), 1980–2024. Bars, not a line: a line drawn across a year the source does not report would invent an observation a reader could not tell from a measured one.

The World Bank reports 22 of the 45 years between 1980 and 2024 for Brazil. The missing 23 are drawn as gaps, because a gap is what they are.
