Why we are worried • Increase distance between: • Men and woman -woman engage in AE 2x more as men • Employees and unemployed – employees are 3x more active than unemployed people • Educated and less educated • In the previous 3 years every 4thparticipant in AE is with higher education; • Every 11th with secondary or vocational education • Every 20th with primary school education.
Why people learn? • For themselves – to acquire knowledge, skills, experience, attitudes; • For better life – better possibilities in labor market; • For society – knowledgably, active, involved.
