Sažetak
The adult participation in lifelong learning indicator, referring to learning activities after the end of initial education for people 25 and 64, shows an increase in majority of European countries, being for the EU-28 at 9.6% in 2016 and 10.9% in 2017. In Croatia a decrease is noticed, from 3.1% in 2016 to 2.5% in 2017. The Cedefop (2015) survey on skill shortages and gaps in European enterprises focuses that workers’ skills of different scope required by the workforce are characterized by larger skill gaps. High-performing organizations tend to invest more in worker skill development, non-formal and informal, reducing the cost of skill incompatibility and increasing the firm’s productivity. It might be assumed that statistical knowledge, as other skills, has a great chance to be improved through the adult learning in European countries. Regarding the adult learning as a chance for enhancing statistical literacy for decision makers, for citizenship and the workplace, the Croatia is focused.
