Sažetak

This paper is using published indicators collected via European LFS, AES and CVTS surveys in order to analyze participation in adult education in Croatia in the context of other European countries. The paper analyses the basic indicators of participation in adult education, as well as participation with regard to the socio-demographic characteristics of participants and characteristics of companies that conduct training, as well as readiness and obstacles to participation. Although Croatia follows the patterns observed in EU countries, it lags significantly behind the participation rates of most EU-27 countries in all surveys, regardless of the type of adult education we observe. In addition, specific groups are seldom represented in adult education and lag far behind the EU-27 average. These findings represent a starting point for further research of adult education in Croatia, which should identify primary barriers for participation of specific social groups that show lower participation rates, in order to develop targeted education policies for eliminating or, at least, diminishing those barriers.
