Political Economy of Adult Learning Systems
Political Economy of Adult Learning Systems: Comparative Study of Strategies, Policies and Constraints." Comparative Education, 54(2), pp. 275–276
Modeling Life Course Structure
Researching the life course—the way our lives are structured into particular stages and sequences—opens up a huge range of issues and perspectives. I begin with selected synoptic approaches that give a sense of this multidimensionality, such as the levels at which it applies and the linkages between individual life courses and their social contexts. I discuss particular concepts that figure prominently in the analytical toolbox of life course res…
Learning through life
Social Capital
Understanding the Social Outcomes of Learning
Education affects peopleâ s lives in ways that go far beyond what can be\nmeasured by labour market earnings and economic growth. Important as\nthey are, these social outcomes of learning (SOL) â such as the impact of\neducation on health â are neither currently well understood nor\nsystematically measured. This â synthesisâ report is a first pass at bringing\ntogether some promising developments in this area. (See Chapter 1 for a full\nexplanati…
Reflections on the use of social capital
The paper provides a framework for reviewing developments in thinking about social capital over the last decade and for assessing future prospects. It argues for giving particular value to social capital as a phenomenon (conceptual and empirical) which is most effective when viewed in interaction with other elements of analysis or policy. Two forms of interaction are addressed: between bonding and bridging social capital; and between human and so…

The Benefits of Learning
Benefits of Learning
Three capitals
The triangle includes a number of items which are the benefits of learning, directly or indirectly, and this is the kernel of the whole book (see Figure 2.1). The simplest way to address our analysis is therefore to think of learning as a process whereby people build up – consciously or not – their assets in the shape of human, social or identity capital, and then benefit from the returns on the investment in the shape of better health, stronger …
Visual imagery, lifecourse structure and lifelong learning
Imagery could add an extra dimension to analyses of lifelong learning, which need to draw on diverse sources and techniques. This article has two principal components. First I suggest that the use of images might be divided into three categories: as illustration; as evidence; and as heuristic. I go on to explore the latter two categories, first by discussing Philippe Aries'use of pictorial evidence to explore how children were not differentiated …

The Need for Lifelong Learning
Social capital
Social and Human Capital
This paper acknowledges the power of human capital as a concept but points to a number of question marks against it, notably in the appropriateness of the approaches to measuring it, and the scope of learning which it covers. These same queries are applied to the emerging notion of social capital and the different ways in which it has been interpreted. Given the diversity of interpretations which this reveals, I ask whether the concept of social …

Building Social Capital
In this article, I want to make some arguments which probably go against mainstream educational thinking. This I think upholds an honourable and quite well established tradition for university continuing education to act at least in part as a gadfly to the system, and perhaps also to the institution, reminding the mainstream that there are alternative models of education, and alternative clienteles to be served. University continuing education is…
Institutional policies for part‐time undergraduate higher education in Scotland
Financial pressures, restrictions on full‐time participation and the public commitment to access and lifelong learning, suggest that part‐time provision may be increasingly important in undergraduate‐level higher education. However the scale and organisation of part‐time provision varies across institutions, and its future development may depend on decisions taken at institutional level. This paper describes Scottish institutions’ policies for pa…
Professional Workers as Learners
Learners of the future
This paper deals with educational policy for older adults. Social and demographic trends have led to the setting up of the Carnegie Inquiry into the Third Age, a large‐scale piece of policy research. This is generating substantial policy interest in the lives of those aged 50, and the authors have been responsible for one of the Inquiry's major studies, on learning. The study covers formal and informal education and training. The paper gives a br…
Life after Work
A Temporal Approach to the Relationship between Education and Generation
This paper begins by setting out the demographic context within which there is a growing interest in older people and their social role. The notion of generation is briefly considered, and then related to McTaggart's philosophy of time. Next, the paper moves on to discuss how education affects intergenerational relations, dealing first with the question of equality between generations, and secondly with ways in which generations affect each other…

Second Adolescence? The Transition from Paid Employment
The paper examines the process by which men and women finish formal employment. It presents evidence that straightforward retirement is the experience of a diminishing proportion of the population, and explores the implications both for our image of the life-cycle and for social policy

The Process of Workforce Polarisation
This article ties together two aspects of employment relations which have significant implications for the phenomenon of polarisation: participation by employees in company decision making and the development of occupational welfare — more specifically occupational pension schemes as a prime example of such welfare. After briefly reviewing the relevance of each independently and generally, they will be considered conjointly, focusing on the compa…
Forms of Ownership and Control
Recent literature suggests that control of corporations has shifted from individual capitalists to financial institutions. The article, based on original research, examines the relationship between ownership and control in relation to one set of financial institutions, namely pension funds. Focusing particularly on the role of employee representatives on trustee boards of pension schemes, the authors first suggest that the notion of ownership is …
Beyond Capitalist Planning
Convenors as Parents, Branches as Homes
Researchers have approached the issue from a variety of perspectives. Some have focused closely on the educational institutions and the attitudes of those who people and control them. Teachers have been criticised for the way their values discriminate against working-class children (e.g. Keddie, 1971), or for ignoring the needs and claims of girls (Spender, 1982). Similarly, the school curriculum has been analysed in terms of its systematic refle…

This collection reflects the time-obsessed age we live in. The contributors, drawn from a range of disciplines, develop a common sociological approach to examine time in a range of cultures, sub-cultures and historical periods. This book should be of interest to students of sociology
