  • Eurostat

    Adult learning participation rate (annual, Europe)

    Annual share of 25-64 year olds who participated in formal or non-formal education or training in the four weeks preceding the EU Labour Force Survey interview, for EU member states, EFTA countries, EU candidate countries and EU/euro-area aggregates. Eurostat dataset trng_lfse_01 ('Participation rate in education and training (last 4 weeks)'), filtered to sex=T, age=Y25-64, unit=PC - the EU headline 'lifelong learning' indicator (part of the European Pillar of Social Rights action plan monitoring framework). Each row is one (year, country). Method: Eurostat compiles the EU Labour Force Survey microdata transmitted by the member states; non-EU/EFTA/candidate countries are dropped (same licensing rule as the other Eurostat datasets; the UK is dropped). Units: percent of the 25-64 population. Caveats: the rate measures participation, not intensity or outcomes; national LFS redesigns cause breaks in some series; the EU27_2020 and EA21 aggregates are included as published. Coverage: 37 geographic units after the geo rule, 1992 to the present, annual. Provenance: Eurostat keyless JSON-stat API, free reuse with attribution (Commission Decision 2011/833/EU) - please cite Eurostat. Primary key: (year, country_code). Join keys: country_code (ISO 3166-1 alpha-3), year. Cadence: refreshed yearly; Eurostat publishes the series each autumn. Sample use: join with 'eurostat-early-leavers-annual' to compare initial and continuing education across countries.

    Adult learning participation rate by sex (annual, Europe)

    Annual share of 25-64 year olds who participated in formal or non-formal education or training in the four weeks preceding the EU Labour Force Survey interview, broken down by sex, for EU member states, EFTA countries, EU candidate countries and EU/euro-area aggregates. Eurostat dataset trng_lfse_01 ('Participation rate in education and training (last 4 weeks)'), filtered to sex=M/F, age=Y25-64, unit=PC. It extends the headline dataset 'adult-learning-participation-annual' (the sex=T slice of the same table). Each row is one (year, country, sex): female participation runs at or above male participation in the large majority of published country-years (e.g. FRA 2025: 17.5% F vs 13.5% M; DEU 2025: 9.8% F vs 8.8% M). Method and caveats as the headline dataset; non-EU/EFTA/candidate countries are dropped (same licensing rule). Units: percent of the 25-64 population. Coverage: 37 geographic units after the geo rule, 1992 to the present, annual. Provenance: Eurostat keyless JSON-stat API, free reuse with attribution (Commission Decision 2011/833/EU) - please cite Eurostat. Primary key: (year, country_code, sex). Join keys: country_code (ISO 3166-1 alpha-3), year, sex. Cadence: refreshed yearly; Eurostat publishes the series each autumn. Sample use: filter sex='F' to track women's lifelong-learning participation across countries.
