This data is based on a questionnaire module which asks respondents whether they have participated in training in the preceding four weeks. The module focuses on work-related training only, and was put to workers with a contract of employment as well as to the self-employed and the unemployed. Results show marked differences between countries, with the US, Finland, and Sweden as the only countries where more than 30% of the labour force where involved in work-related training provided either by their company or by some other organisation. The Netherlands and Denmark follow next, while in Portugal and Greece less than 15% of the labour force participate in this type of lifelong learning. In the Newly Associated States the average is 10%, with rates in Bulgaria and Romania as low as 4% to 5%.
