| Annotation | The authors explore the impact of social relationships on conditions of learning in later life. They use a meta-analysis of interdependencies between education and health in old age to discuss the effects of social relationships and networks in the development of decision-making skills and coping strategies. They use qualitative data from the German Interdisciplinary Longitudinal Study of Adulthood (ILSE) to illustrate those effects. The results suggest that the quality of social contacts has no effect on the quality of social networks and learning processes. The authors' aim is to encourage further studies on aspects of informal learning in later life. (RH). |
