Question
What do you mean by literacy level?

Answer

Morris included three indicators or say determinants for measuring the physical quality of life. These three determinants are:
  1. Literacy,
  2. Life expectancy and
  3. Infant mortality rate.
Thus, $\text{PQLI =}$ Literacy level $+$ Life expectancy index $+$ Infant mortality index.
The three factors (determinants) of physical Quality of Life
Literacy level Life expectancy infant mortality rate
Literacy level of the country determines situation of education. The literacy rate can be determined by the percentage of educated people in the country. Numbers of years a child is expected to live at the time of birth is known as life expectancy. It shows the average life of the child born. If the life expectancy rises it can be said that the medical services of the country are good. The number of infants that die out of every $1000$ infants before completing their first year is known as infant mortality. If infant mortality rate decreases, it can be said that health care services of the country are good.
After $2003,$ three more aspects were included in $\text{PQLI}$ and Quality of Life Index $\text{(QLI)}$ was prepared in the world.
