Participation in recurrent education and the financing of recurrent education are discussed from the experiences of countries belonging to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. Recurrent education encompasses lifelong learning. The influences of socioeconomic and technological change on recurrent education and employment are addressed. Two approaches to assess participation in recurrent education are considered: an individual/psychological approach and a statistical approach. A research review of participation in recurrent education covers theories of motivation and analysis of valence and expectancy in terms of adult education. Included is an outline of findings of specific studies concerning adults' motives for participation in education, impediments to recruitment, and the influence of adults' self-evaluation on participation. A model accounting for participation in adult education is presented. Power within the workplace and the economy and implications for recurrent education are also addressed. Current financing modes and the costs and benefits of recurrent education are covered. A 7-page bibliography and 13 tables are included. (SW)

The system of vocational and adult education and training in Europe offers young people and adults the opportunity to learn to play an effective part in the workplace and elsewhere in society. Vocational and adult education and training is increasingly seen as crucial to the maintenance of employment, economic growth and the social integration of disadvantaged groups. In an economy and a society which are increasingly based on knowledge and information, these tasks can only increase in importance. This book brings together contributors from different disciplines and the different countries in Europe to look at current developments and debates in the development of European education and training, including the relation between markets and institutions, learning and organisations, different programmes and sectors and the economics of education and training. The book will be of interest to students, researchers and policy makers concerned with the future of education and training in Europe.
