The Impact of Lifelong Learning on Poverty Reduction, by Ricardo Sabates
This paper summarises research-based evidence about the impacts of lifelong learning on poverty reduction. It is a contribution to an empirically based understanding of the complex mechanisms through which education impacts on poverty reduction.

It starts by providing a definition of poverty and sets the scene for learning opportunities for poor people in the UK. It reviews literature on the income effects of adult education, the impact of financial literacy, the employment and health effects of adult learning, basic skills and health literacy and the impact of lifelong learning on reducing child poverty.
