Abstract

This technical briefing deals with adult participation in lifelong learning. In particular, it focuses on the implications associated to the use of different statistical sources ([Labour Force Survey] LFS, [Adult Education Survey/Continuing Vocational Training Survey] AES/CVTS and [Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies] PIAAC), characterized by different reference periods and different definitions of lifelong learning. The main objective of the technical briefing is to examine the impact of using a 12-month or four-week reference period on access to and intensity of adult learning. [The] technical briefing also includes a review of the state of the art in the field of measurement of adult perception to lifelong learning, and some statistics about the variance according to different labour market status and age groups.
