Description
Adult learning has become increasingly important for modern societies. As countries rely on the entire population's creativity, skills, and knowledge to thrive, lifelong learning is seen as essential for adapting and thriving in a rapidly changing world. This book presents the findings of one of the largest research projects into lifelong learning, which conducted over 500 in-depth interviews with adults followed for three years. The project has provided valuable insights into what learning means and does in the lives of adults, including how it changes over time and across generations, its connections to the changing world of work, and its impact on life chances. By combining life history and life-course research with analysis of longitudinal survey data, this book offers a detailed understanding of the learning biographies and trajectories of adults. It challenges current education policy and politics by showing that learning plays a more significant role in people's lives than is often acknowledged.
