Employment Characteristics and Participation in Formal and Non-Formal Adult Education

Abstract

In this paper we examine the association of participation of the employed in education with their demographic characteristics and characteristics of their employment, such as: occupation; work position; organisational size; type of employment; and use of their writing skill at work. The findings indicate that main predictors of participation in education are age, work position and organisational size. Moreover, it is confirmed that the significance of the observed factors varies in relation to the mode of education (formal, non-formal)
