Abstract	Twelve papers address three topics: the middle years--dimensions and dilemmas; the middle years--suggestions and solutions; and the changing university--new audiences for learning. Bruce Dearing examines personal, human questions posed by maturing individuals and indicates how they present challenges for a lifetime learning process. Bentley Glass discusses two aspects of lifelong learning. A statistical overview of the economy indicating an increasing demand for workers in their middle years is presented by Herbert Bienstock. Eli Ginzberg outlines costs to the society and the individual in establishing new work patterns for the middle years. Costs in relation to investment in human capital are examined by Victor Fuchs, and Samuel Conner discusses the concept of midcareer change in relation to an individual's personal and financial needs. Bernard Bellush describes the activities of a union to promote work satisfaction and career flexibility; F. Bruce Hinkel reports on the work of a corporation to reach the same goals. Ruth VanDoren discusses the changing nature of careers and education; Betty Roberts addresses the voluntary occupational change of middle-aged people. Designing new work patterns for women which could be applied throughout the economy is discussed by Felice Schwartz. In the concluding presentation, John Toll comments on the design of new work-learning relationships. (Author/AG)
