This paper presents available evidence on the extent and patterns of lifelong learning in ECA. It argues that advancing adult education and training in ECA is important not only to meet the new skills demands but also to respond to a rapidly worsening demographic outlook across most of the region. While it is not equally important for all ECA countries, adult education and training should be high on the agenda of those ECA economies that are closest to the technological frontier and facing a demographic decline, such as the new European Union (EU) member States and Russia. The paper lays out a framework for government action to advance adult learning in ECA through a mix consisting of policy coordination between government and the enterprise sector, a sound regulatory regime and appropriate financial incentives. 2017-06-27T16:40:52Z 2017-06-27T16:40:52Z 2011-04 Working Paper http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/470761468035951223/Advancing-adult-learning-in-Eastern-Europe-and-Central-Asia http://hdl.handle.net/10986/27347 English en_US SP Discussion Paper;No. 1108 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Working Paper Publications & Research Europe and Central Asia Central Asia Eastern Europe
