FiBS-Forum 66 Economic growth and the issue of women participation in adult education

The necessity of growth support was embedded into the core message adopted by the European Commission in the Europe 2020 strategy, which recommends a number of structural reforms in order to boost labor utilization and productivity growth (European Commission, 2011).

This article presents an in-depth appraisal of the theoretical approaches in relation to the link between adult education (human capital in general) disaggregated by gender and macroeconomic growth and a summary of results from the main empirical macro-studies for European countries.
