New patterns of adult learning

With the accelerating transition towards a post-industrial society the challenge to reduce the exclusive tendencies in adult education and training, and to make learning a common, continuous and even universal experience is becoming more urgent than ever. The design of successful intervention strategies will depend crucially on the knowledge base of adult education, especially improved insights into the factors that are associated with participation and non-participation. This volume, which reports on a six-country comparative investigation into the patterns of adult education participation, seeks to make a contribution to that knowledge base, and thereby to the formulation of effective policy development.
