Effective Adult Learning Policies
Challenges and Solutions for Latin American Countries
In Latin America and the Caribbean, as across the globe, globalisation and rapid technological
change, together with demographic developments are reshaping skill demands and supply
in all countries. These trends are expected to continue in the coming years at an
increasing pace. Technological progress, in particular, is profoundly transforming
the world of work and, in turn, the skills demanded by employers. This poses challenges
but it also creates opportunities for Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries
in the near future. Effective Adult Learning Policies: Challenges and Solutions for
Latin American Countries discusses how individuals and firms in Latin American countries
can harness the benefits of those changes. The report explores the challenges for
LAC adult learning systems in supplying labour market relevant skills, what are the
barriers to an inclusive participation in adult learning and what solutions governments,
firms and individuals should collectively put in place to ensure that adult learning
is truly effective.
