Description
This book presents a comprehensive exploration of the foundational elements of lifelong learning within the framework of labour law, addressing the topic from various perspectives, including EU policies and regulations, national labour laws and labour market laws, and the understanding of lifelong learning as a fundamental labour right. It is essential to recognise that the diverse concepts and manifestations of lifelong learning originate from various disciplines and policy domains. Given the multifaceted nature of lifelong learning, the challenge lies in systematizing and analysing this phenomenon, one situated at the crossroads of labour law, social law, and employment policy. Furthermore, this complexity is increased by the legal frameworks at the national, regional, and international levels, including the International Labour Organization (ILO).
The European Union is putting lifelong learning at the heart of its vision for the future. Anchored in the European Pillar of Social Rights and its Action Plan, the ambition is bold: by 2030, at least 6 in 10 adults will take part in continuous training every year. This demonstrates that lifelong learning is particularly intertwined with the twin transition policies, which address both environmental (green) and technological (digital) dimensions and it’s the engine driving Europe’s twin transition, equipping people with the skills to thrive in a greener and more digital economy and thus put into practice just transition. The societal significance of lifelong learning is profound, as it is closely interwoven with labour dynamics and the job market. Further, lifelong learning intersects with labour law and transitional labour market policies to facilitate smooth transitions in the job market by emphasising employability.
The book recognises and focuses widely on the regulation of lifelong learning, one often not covered by traditional labour law.
