Sažetak
In this paper, we investigated whether and to what extent digitalisation and research intensity in a country (e.g. Slovenia, Croatia) affect the participation of adults in learning (APinL). Statistical analysis for EU28 countries for 2018, carried out by combination of different statistical methods highlighted strong positive correlations of APinL and selected variables (human capital ; use of internet services ; integration of digital technology ; research expenses in GDP - GERD). Clustering and profile chart analysis clearly revealed three clusters of countries differing by achieved level of digitalisation, which conforms closely to the level of APinL. High APinL in digitally advanced countries could be mainly assigned to increased educational needs and new innovative education forms.
