Abstract	The participation of adults in lifelong learning has undergone significant development in the last few years, with the percentage of adults participating in non-formal education (NFE) risen dramatically. Within this empirical context, this study conceptualises and interconnects the theory of Ulrich Beck's risk society with the main trends in contemporary NFE. Based on a secondary analysis of data from the LFS and AES, we test four complementary thesis derived from Beck's theory. Firstly, if adults participating in NFE with the precarious job contract gradually increase. And if automation plays a more critical role in the prevalence of job-oriented NFE. Secondly, we focus on Beck's individualisation and market-dependence thesis: Do adults in the CZ tend to individualise more in their participation in NFE during the last decade and do they more dependent on market forces? We found that Czech adult education system exhibits a significant level of individualisation that is not based on the classical class categories, but instead on integration into the job market as well as to a lesser extent on the ownership of cultural capital. Subsequently, individualisation is driven by market forces and dictated by company policy. According to the available data, industrial automation has only an indirect effect on participation in job-oriented NFE. (As Provided).
