Description
Recurrent Education - the regular return of adults to training throughout their lives - could bring a host of benefits, from improved industrial productivity to reduced unemployment and broader participation in social, cultural and political life. Yet who or what would finance it? The papers in this volume, growing out of a conference co-sponsored by the OECD, draw on a range of ideas and experiences from America and Europe to consider what form a comprehensive system of recurrent education would take.
