Lifelong learning is critical for adults to be engaged citizens, active members of the labor force, healthy, and informed consumers. Adults with limited formal education, who left high school for what ever reason, are most in need of opportunity and encouragement for continued learning. However, the field of adult education has been limited by a lack of research about literacy development during adulthood and lifelong learning in this population. The Longitudinal Study of Adult Learning project is breaking new ground by addressing key questions about the literacy development, learning and life experiences of low-education adults over time.
