Adult learning matters. There is now widespread agreement that
modern countries depend on the creativity, skills and knowledge of
the entire population for their prosperity. Many people talk of our
future well-being in terms of a 'knowledge economy' or a 'learning
society' in which every person's ability to develop new
capabilities will provide them with resources that will help them
and the wider community to adapt and thrive. While in theory this
makes lifelong learning into an exciting prospect, in practice this
broad agenda is often reduced to a narrowly economic conception.
This book reports on one of the largest research projects into
lifelong learning conducted in recent years. Through over 500
in-depth interviews with a cohort of about 120 adults who were
followed for three years, the Learning Lives project has built up a
detailed understanding of what learning means and does in the lives
of adults. The project has generated insights in how learning has
changed over time and across generations, what the connections are
with the changing world of work, what differences learning makes
for life chances, how we can learn from life and for life, and how
people's prospects of learning can be improved. Combining life
history and life-course research with analysis of longitudinal
survey data, this book provides important insights into the
learning biographies and trajectories of adults. The book shows
that learning means and does much more in people's lives than is
often acknowledged by current education policy and politics. In
doing so, it is an invaluable resource for anyone with an interest
in the role and potential of learning through the lifecourse.
