Journal of Vocational Education and Training: The Vocational Aspect of Education, v50 n1 p5-18 1998
Education and training histories of 1,104 British respondents ages 15-65 identified them as nonparticipants, delayed, transitional, or lifetime. Social determinants of adult participation were identified. Immediate postcompulsory education and training is predicted by more privileged family background. Later lifelong learning is more dependent on changing opportunities, motivation, and identity. (SK)
