Abstract: The 2011/12 survey PIAAC is analyzed regarding the formation of skills (literacy, numeracy and information technologies) by family background, gender and age, and regarding the relationships between skill levels and education of adult population in the Czech Republic. The impact of the family background was increasing and the chances of men and women to attain higher education have been reversed in the past: currently, women have twice as high a chance to attain secondary education than men and three times higher chance to pass to tertiary education. Skills are formed both by education and social origin which affects them rather indirectly. In the age perspective, skills are rising up to around 32 years of age and slowly "evaporate" after, with minor differences based on gender and the type of competences. The importance of skills and its empirical analysis is put into the context of political economy research stressing its importance for individual careers and competiveness of national economy.
