| Abstract [eng] |
Long-term forecasts predict negative consequences of demographic changes on labor supply trends in Lithuania. The declining labor supply could be compensated by the longer participation of the population in the labor market. In order to prolong the professional activity of adult workers in the future, it is necessary to maintain their level of productivity and working capacity. The first task is implemented through continuous training of the employees. It can be argued that the desire to involve more older people in employment through lifelong learning measures does not receive sufficient attention from public authorities, service providers and employers. The article aims to evaluate the public policy measures applied in Lithuania over the last decade through the prism of promoting the participation of older people in lifelong learning. To achieve this goal the following tasks were envisaged 1) to analyze adult learning trends in the country on the basis of available statistics (Statistics Lithuania, Eurostat, OECD), 2) to identify the main barriers to adult participation, including older people, in the analysis of secondary statistics, 3) to evaluate strategic documents in terms of promoting employment and lifelong learning for the elderly. Applied methods are – analysis of secondary statistical data, analysis of strategic documents, scientific literature analysis. |
