| Abstract: | The purpose of this study was to project and analyze the prospective long-term trends in the socioeconomic context of the educational systems of European market economies and to outline in global terms the probable implication for education and training in the future. Composed of three chapters, the chapter 1 focuses on projected long-term demographic changes: the quantitative development and age structure of populations and their basic determinants up to the first half of the next century. The direct and indirect impact on education and training is discussed in detail. Chapter 2 looks at the social and cultural context of education, highlighting value changes in various fields (work, family, religion, politics) and their societal effects. The consequences of socio-cultural change and multi-cultural societies for formal education are outlined. Chapter 3 gives a detailed overview of past and expected future developments in the economy (economic growth) and the labor market (labor force participation, unemployment, new forms of working). The implications of structural change in the economy and the introduction of new technologies for future qualification requirements are summarized. A 66-item list of references is included as are a number of appendices. (Author/DB) |
