Abstract

To facilitate individuals to adjust their skills to changes in market demands, Sweden has a relatively generous policy to stimulate formal adult education at the compulsory, upper secondary and tertiary levels. This paper provides an overview of what research has reported to assess if and/or how it may be an efficient use of tax payers’ money. Some institutional factors are also briefly presented to discuss what is likely to be required for such a policy to exist in a particular country. Afin d’aider les individus à adapter leurs compétences à l'évolution des demandes du marché, la Suède a adopté une politique relativement généreuse pour renforcer la participation des adultes à l'enseignement obligatoire, ainsi qu’au deuxième cycle du secondaire et au supérieur. Ce document donne un aperçu des résultats de la recherche dans ce domaine, avec pour objectif d’évaluer dans quelle mesure cette politique constitue une utilisation efficace de l'argent des contribuables, et de quelle façon. Certains aspects institutionnels sont également évoqués en bref afin de déterminer quels seraient les pré-requis si une telle mesure d’action publique devait être menée dans un autre pays.
