I just posted a comment to your other thread on all women factors and literacy, and I apologize that for my oversight. The basic premise of using all men (or all women) factors is that we can assume something about the status of the never married men or women. We can do this with 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 the literacy of never married women or men, and thus we can't use this approach to estimate literacy of all men. My apologies that I didn't spot this before.
