?:abstract
  • The policy interest in adult learning and education raises issues not only about the extent of participation but also more fundamentally about who participates and the social construction of inequalities in adult learning and education. However, to judge participation is not a straightforward task as the figures are highly dependent on how adult learning and education is being understood. The purpose of this chapter is to explore rates and inequalities in participation in a comparative perspective, while at the same time being mindful of how adult learning and education is being conceptualized and measured. The examination of what understanding of adult learning and education is driving the collection of information on participation points to fundamental shortcomings in the way the data have been classified. There exists a noticeable job-related bias, particularly in the PIAAC survey and forms of adult learning and education that may be important for fostering democratic traditions to become marginalized. Looking at trends in participation, two broad interrelated trends are evident, rising participation rates and a dramatic increase in employer-supported learning activities. The analyses reveal major inequalities in participation in all countries, but it should be noted that they are more severe in some countries than others which can be explained by differences in welfare state regime.
