It examines a variety of forms of adult learning, ranging from initial forms of post-compulsory education, such as upper secondary tracks and tertiary education, to firm training, compensatory adult education and learning for civic and leisure oriented purposes. Throughout the book, adult learning systems are directly linked to a variety of structural and public policy frameworks using a comparative welfare state approach. Themes such as pathways to learning and transition systems, participation patterns in higher education and participation patterns in other organized forms of adult learning are covered. The countries discussed are the UK, the USA, Korea, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Germany and the Netherlands. Situated at the intersection between scholarship and policy and using a mixed-methods approach, this title contributes fundamental insights into the further study of policies and structures related to alternative post-compulsory learning pathways."--$cProvided by publisher. 330 $a"Compares adult learning governance and provision, and their impact on the take-up of adult learning among populations, skills development and well-being across nine countries"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aAdult education and state$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aEducation$2bicssc 615 0$aAdult education and state 615 7$aEducation 676 $a374 686 $aEDU000000$aEDU002000$2bisacsh 700 $aDesjardins$b Richard$f1946-$01527360 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798855003321 996 $aPolitical economy of adult learning systems$93770089 997 $aUNINA
