Men, older workers and those having lower education attainments participate less in training than women, the younger and highly educated. Participation rates across the board are on the increase, but still with marked differences between those Member States with an established tradition of adult training (particularly in northern Europe) and others where there is still considerable scope for progress.
La tendance générale est à un accroissement de la participation à la formation, mais avec encore de nettes différences entre les États membres ayant une tradition établie de la formation des adultes (notamment dans le nord de l'Europe) et ceux dans lesquels de grands progrès doivent encore être accomplis.
