Key Findings

• Perception goes with participation - If adult learning and continued vocational education and training (CVET) activities are considered important, the likelihood of engaging in different types of adult learning and CVET activities increases.
• General affectedness - This relationship has been found for participation in all kinds of adult learning and CVET activities included in this study: formal, non-formal work-related, non-formal non-work-related, and informal.
• Age and status gap - Adults who are younger, higher educated and white-collar employed are more likely to participate in all four types of adult learning and CVET activities.
• Gender gap - Women are more likely to participate in adult learning and CVET activities compared to men.
