The Hidden Costs
How Low Numeracy
Shapes Lives.
A recent study sheds light on the impact of low numeracy skills on career choices, self-confidence, and emotional well-being:
​
-
Career Change Challenges: All 7 participants expressed a desire to change careers, but for most, a significant barrier stood in the way.
-
Primary Obstacle: For 5 out of 7 participants, the need to acquire new numeracy skills was the main challenge holding them back from pursuing new career paths.
-
Emotional Impact of Low Numeracy: Participants associated mathematics with strong feelings of anxiety, dread, and even fear. Frequently used words included:
-
"Confusing," "complicated," and "complex" — to describe their perceptions of maths.
-
"Useless" — reflecting a shared sense of self-doubt and lack of confidence in handling numbers.
-
These findings highlight the hidden costs of low numeracy, revealing how it can shape not only career prospects but also personal identity and emotional resilience.
