Figure 10. Wanted to retire and preferred to continue in paid work by the variable
“important for choosing a job: job offered good training opportunities” (mean value,
5 original categories from “not important at all” (1) to “very important” (5); ESS5)

The actual participation in lifelong
learning in selected countries is poor.
Only the respondents from Slovenia
reported more often that they participated
in different kinds of training programs
during the last 12 months.

Only in the Czech Republic and
Slovakia, the respondents who received

training more often belong to the group
of the respondents that are willing to
stay longer in the labor market. In other
analyzed countries, the situation is
opposite (see Table 1). We relate it to the
fact that training opportunities more often
are offered for the employees in the public
sector, and less in the private one.
