Foreword Adult learning is a key policy lever for governments to respond to the rapid evolution of skills demandsresulting from technological and demographic changes, the transition to a low-carbon economy andchanging supply chains. Over the past decade, countries in the OECD and beyond have introducedreforms aimed at widening access and making learning opportunities more responsive to the diversecircumstances of adult learners. These initiatives signal an understandingthat learning should not stopafter formal schooling and that continuous skills development is key to support both the life prospects ofindividuals and the resilience ofeconomies. This PIAAC thematic report describes trends in adult learning in the countries participating in the2023Survey of Adult Skills. It examines patterns of participation, the content and delivery of learning, and thebarriers that limit access, particularly for disadvantaged groups. It provides insights into how policies andpractices can be redesigned to better support adult learners in a rapidly changing labour market. It hasbeen prepared as part of the work programme of the Board of Participating Countries (BPC) of the OECDProgramme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC). The BPC provides strategic oversight and guidance for the development and use of the Survey of AdultSkills. The Survey of Adult Skills assesses adults’proficiency in key information processing skills–literacy,numeracy and adaptiveproblem solving–and collects a wide range of information on how adults use theirskills at work and in everyday life. By enabling cross-country comparisons and in-depth policy analysis,the survey helps countries to better understand how skills are developed, maintained and used over thelife course. The report was prepared by Anja Meierkord and Roland Tusz from the Directorate for Employment, Labourand Social Affairs, under the supervision of Glenda Quintini (Head oftheSkills and Future ReadinessDivision). Valuable comments were received by numerous colleagues, including Elif Bahar, MagdalenaBurtscher, Shizuka Kato,Julie Lassébie, Patricia Navarro-PalauandAda Zakrzewska (Directorate forEmployment, Labourand Social Affairs); Francesco Avvisati, Francois Keslair, Marco Paccagnella andMila Staneva (Directorate for Education and Skills);
