Explanation:

                         Employment is a major issue in today's world. Unemployed people find it very difficult to run their family and provide them food and shelter.

                     The literacy rate in the low income countries are considered to be half of that of the literacy rate in high income countries. And also it is seen that around two-thirds of the illiterate people living in the low income countries have no jobs and are unemployed. Because unemployment and literacy always goes together.

                        People with no jobs are unable to educate their family members or children. Thus providing jobs or employments will definitely solve the problem of illiteracy to a large extent.

Thus the answer is employment is less, job or employment.
