Weiterbildungsverhalten in Deutschland 2016

Abstract

In Germany, participation in continuing education has been on a respectable level since 2012. In 2016, 50 per cent of all adults were active in continuing education and training. Based on these findings, the Adult Education Survey (AES) 2016 provides numerous detailed results, which are presented in the final evaluation report. The authors of this report analyse and comment the representative data with regard to key issues, such as: Who are the participants of continuing education and for what period of time do they participate? Who does not participate? Which are the prerequisites for participation? The report is a key working base for research on adult education and learning. It also provides relevant arguments for the strategic concerns of educational practice and politics, e.g. education counselling, digitalisation and scientific continuing education.
