Abstract	"Modern societies depend on the successful and comprehensive provision of skills. In younger cohorts, the majority of the population has received some form of vocational training, increasing the demand for timely information about the various forms of training and their relation to the broader societal context. Over recent decades, the patterns of participation in education and training have become more complex and heterogeneous, and extend further into the life course. In considering this development, this paper discusses the extent to which existing and projected data sources are suitable for investigating scientific and policy-related questions in this field. Among these questions are: what trends in vocational training can be identified over an individual's lifespan? What are the relative chances of receiving specific types of training? Who, in particular, is likely to receive the most attractive types? Are training measures effective? When reviewing currently available data, it becomes clear that progress has been made in the past few years. It is also obvious, however, that fundamental questions cannot presently be answered on the basis of the available large-scale data on vocational education and training. Some key recommendations are presented to remedy these gaps." (author's abstract).
