illiteracy in our world

"More than three out of four of those on welfare, 85% of unwed mothers and 68% of those arrested are illiterate. About three in five of America's prison inmates are illiterate. "
-Washington Literacy Council

Is there a link between illiteracy and non-functioning members of society?
And what is the preventative action being taken to teach people to read?!
