Abstract

'Lifelong employability' — the capacity to be productive and to hold rewarding jobs over one's working life — is no longer guaranteed by the education and training received in childhoodand youth. The continuous structural changes affecting all OECD economies have increased the importance of up-to-dateskills and competences. Responding to this requirement calls for the development of effective strategies for lifelong learning.
