Lifelong learning encompasses all learning activities undertaken throughout life with the aim of improving knowledge, skills and competences, within personal, civic, social or employment-related perspectives. The intention or aim to learn is the critical point that distinguishes these activities from non-learning activities, such as cultural or sporting activities.

Participation in education and training is a measure of lifelong learning. The participation rate in education and training covers participation in formal and non-formal education and training. Participation rates in education and training for various age groups and by different breakdowns are presented.

Annual data on participation in education and training in the last 4 weeks are calculated as annual averages of quarterly EU Labour Force Survey data (EU-LFS). Data on participation in education and training in the last 12 months are available every 2 years as from 2022.

The main indicator on adult participation in learning refers to the age group 25 to 64. Indicators on ‘participation in education and training in the last 12 months’ are considered to provide a more appropriate measure of participation in adult learning than indicators on ‘participation in education and training in the last 4 weeks’ as they present information about the share of people who were involved in education and training during a year.

Participation rates are calculated as follows:

• the numerator refers to persons in a given age group who stated that they received education or training (either in the last four weeks or in the last 12 months preceding the survey).
• the denominator consists of the total population of the same age group, excluding those who did not answer to the question 'participation in education and training'.

For data published in the folder 'Participation in education and training (last 4 weeks, LFS) - data from 1992 onwards (trng_lfs_4w0)' the data source (EU-LFS) is – where necessary – adjusted and enriched in various ways up to the reference year 2008, in accordance with the specificities of an indicator, including the following:

• correction of the main breaks in the LFS series,
• estimation of the missing values, i.e. in case of missing quarters, annual results and EU aggregates are estimated using adjusted quarterly national labour force survey data or interpolations of the EU-LFS data with reference to the available quarter(s).

Details on the adjustments are available in CIRCABC.

All other tables on participation in education and training (4 weeks) are not adjusted and therefore the results in these tables might differ.
