Summary:

Do groups who are at greater risk of inequalities or marginalisation benefit from adult learning? Can the positive impact of learning on life satisfaction be replicated nationally?

Adult learning has particular benefits to life satisfaction for some groups over others. In this report we take a closer look at how life satisfaction of specific groups changes as a result of their participation in two forms of adult learning i.e. hobbies & leisure training and job-related training, within the same year of partaking in the activity.
