Updated framework for monitoring adult learning
Enhancing data identification and indicator selection
The Network on Labour market, economic, and social outcomes of learning (LSO Expert
Network) has diligently worked on the selection of indicators for monitoring adult
learning policies. Their inaugural theoretical framework on adult learning, published
in 2013, covered a broad spectrum of policy areas. This comprehensive scope reflected
both the focus of existing data sources and the challenges encountered in data collection
efforts. Over the past decade, significant policy shifts have occurred, reshaping
adult learning systems both domestically and internationally. Concurrently, there
have been improvements in the availability and frequency of data pertaining to adult
learning. In response to these developments, this working paper presents an updated
theoretical framework on adult learning, aiming to enhance the identification of statistical
data concerning adult learning systems and facilitate the selection of pertinent indicators
for monitoring purposes. Additionally, the paper offers detailed insights into national
priorities and practices within this domain.
