I just realized that my last response was misleading. My comments 1) and 2) are not wrong, but the whole idea of applying all women factors for literacy is problematic. We use all women factors with with variables for fertility, marital status and sexual activity because we can assume (in the countries that use all women factors) that all never married women have had no pregnancies, are never married, and have never had sex. We can't make an assumption about their literacy, and thus we can't use this approach to estimate literacy of all women. My apologies that I didn't spot this before.
