| Annotation | Good quality adult learning generates a range of possible benefits. This research project seeks to develop the knowledge base of the wider impacts of adult learning through reviews of the literature since 2008 and new data analysis. Using human capital theory as the starting point, it finds that adult learning has its greatest impact on the domains of health and well-being; the impacts on civic participation, attitudes and behaviours are less pronounced. This analysis was conducted using data from the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS) collected by the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER). (RH). |
