Participation in Lifelong Learning Depending on Economic Development and Educational Attainment level: A Statistical Approach Using Two-Way ANOVA

This study examines the influence of economic development and educational level on participation in continuing education programs using two-way ANOVA analysis.The research focuses on data from two groups of European countries: developed countries and countries in economic transition, and examines three educational levels: primary and secondary, secondary and tertiary.The results highlight significant differences in participation rates, driven by the interaction between economic development and educational attainment.People in developed countries, especially those with secondary and tertiary education, participate more frequently in continuing training than those in countries in economic transition.The study suggests that education policies need to be tailored to the economic context and the specific needs of the population to increase accessibility and inclusion.The research provides a valuable insight into the factors shaping participation in continuing education, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and better tailored educational strategies.
