(contributions by all project-partners) Adult education and continued vocational education can serve a multitude of societal purposes. Among these are: 1. Promoting productivity, with the aim to reach more horizontal and/or ver- tical flexibility within the enterprise or between the enterprises of a certain sector or region. 2. Promoting mobility and a well-functioning labour market, able to cope with conjunctural and structural changes in the demand of skilled labour, there- by avoiding "bottle necks" and maximising employment. 3. Reducing unemployment by using training as an activation instrument. 4. Promoting general skills and knowledge, in order to enable people to par- ticipate in long life learning and also to enable people to actively influenc- ing their working life as well as their private and social life-conditions. All of these four purposes can be found to a larger or smaller extent as ar- guments for different institutional and economic franie conditions around adult education/and continuing vocational training policies in the different countries. But the differences are not only a matter of the relative weight of priority which is given to each purpose,; it is also important to what degree they might be inter- like employed and unem- linked and also whether different target groups are treated equally. ployed One of the central elements of this study is the co-operation between so- cial partners and the public authorities.The extend and the way of co-operation is structurally embedded in the societal context (history, tradition, conjuncture and culture). The position of continuing vocational training is embedded in a total pack- age of 'other' relevant issues in a society. Sometimes this position has a high pri- ority, sometimes it is rather marginal. However, the priority position of continu- ing vocational training is not a static, but a dynamic one. It is dependent most of all from the actors perceiving the (present and future) functioning and the structure of the labour market as well as the perceived inter-linkage with oth- er societal issues (qualification in relation to work, income, education and oth- er issues). In this respect at least two dimensions could be distinguished the dimension state and market (also with the opportunity for the state to use the market as an instrument) and 7
