The Adult Education Survey (AES) covers adults’ participation in education and training (formal, non-formal and informal learning) and is one of the main data sources for EU lifelong learning statistics. The AES focuses on people aged 25-64 living in private households. The reference period for the participation in education and training is the twelve months prior to the interview. The following information is available from the AES:
Participation in formal education, non-formal education and training and informal learning (respectively labelled FED, NFE and INF)
Volume of instruction hours
Characteristics of the learning activities
Reasons for participating
Obstacles to participation
Access to information on learning possibilities
Employer financing and costs of learning
Self-reported language skills
Two waves of the survey have been implemented so far (2007 AES and 2011 AES). The first AES – referred to as 2007 AES – was a pilot exercise and carried out on a voluntary basis in 29 countries in the EU, EFTA (European Free Trade Association) and candidate countries between 2005 and 2008. The 2011 AES was underpinned by a European legal act and thus carried out in all Member States on a mandatory basis. The next AES is due in 2016. Comparable data from 2007 and 2011 AES can be found in the following folders:
Participation in education and training (last 12 months) (trng_aes_12m0)
Access to information on education and training (last 12 months) (trng_aes_12m1)
Time spent on education and training (last 12 months) (trng_aes_12m2)
Obstacles to participation in education and training (last 12 months) (trng_aes_12m3)
Self-reported language skills (educ_lang_00)
The domain “Past series on lifelong learning - reference year 2007 (trng_aes_007h)” presents 2007 AES data on participation and non-participation in education and training which are not comparable with 2011 AES due to methodological changes.
