Working Group on Adult Learning: Findings report PLA on financing of adult learning (12-13 May 2022, online)

The Peer Learning Activity (PLA) report on financing of adult learning is directly related to the implementation of Individual Learning Accounts (ILA) . The four country examples showcase different approaches to increasing funding for adult learning, including employer-led funding arrangements and initiatives that provide direct financial support to empower adults to learn. The examples show different approaches related to collective bargaining (the Netherlands, Denmark), employer levies (France, Denmark) and individual entitlements offered by the government (Finland, France). The country examples differ in scope and size but together illustrate that there exist effective approaches to increase the financing available for adult learning and these can inspire policy action in different national contexts.
