Issued without a dust jacket. -- Using harmonised survey micro-data from six industrialised countries (Canada, Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, USA) plus Spain's Canary Islands, the volume supplies the first cross-national measurement of adult learning demand after the mid-1990s knowledge-economy turn.

Hardback. Condition: New. This volume provides the first international comparative study on the world of adult learning activities. It offers the first systematic attempt to provide reliable empirical information on some critical issues regarding the transformation of adult and continuing education in post-industrial societies such as: What is the extent of the learning demand among the adult population in industrialized countries? How many adults are involved every year in organized learning activities for vocational reasons, for reasons of academic or general education, and for socio-cultural aims? Who participates in what kind of activities? Who does not participate, and why? How is the transformation of the learning demand to be explained? What are the main factors at work in this remarkable rise in the learning aspirations of adult women and men? Why is it important to monitor the expanding field of organized adult learning?
