Depending on studies:• Adults with high level of education are > 6times > likely to participate than low skilled–3 times > likely to participate if have at leastupper secondary level
Depending on age:• Age - persons aged 55-64 participate 4 timesless (4.6%) than persons aged 25-34 years(15.5%)– 61% of aged 55+ have never used a computer
• More women than men in ALE• Participation in CVT of employed womenranged:– from > 55% in DK, FI, SE– to < 10% in EL, HU, IT– and 1,6% in RO• The rate of participation of employed menranged from 50% in DK to < 1,6% in RO• Gender not significant for ICT skills but age is

• A shift from a skills-based approach -> development of competences for processing information & generating knowledge
• Multiple approaches – as learning support; stand-alone; integrated - workplace; family; themed

• Employers - major providers of ALE in many countries but SE Europe, CIS • Majority of ALE in workplace • Spread in volume of training - 2005 – Finland & Sweden joint first - 50%- 60% of employees reached at work –Most Southern, Central and Eastern MS - barely 20% reached & < 20% in BG, PL,
RO
• Not covered by explicit public policy, action
priorities or funding• In local communities & social movements;
