Abstract	Reflecting the philosophy and policy of the National Advisory Council on Adult Education, the report first examines the adult basic education (ABE) target group from the vantage point of the discipline of economics, focusing on: educational attainment and occupation distribution; education, mobility, and occupation; technology and increasing productivity; education, income, and occupation; and population trends and changes in the labor force. A second major section presents the council's recommendations for adult education and ABE programs on all levels: ABE enrollment; ABE dropouts; comparison of ABE population and welfare recipients; ABE's role in rehabilitation; analysis of the ABE target group by age, region, race, and sex; migrant workers; and cost factors. Supporting data is analyzed and tabulated. The second part of this section summarizes council studies and reports, and discusses demographic traits. A final section presents demographic data from each of the 50 States on the ABE target group. Although most of the tables and figures throughout the publication express percentages, an appendix gives national population figures. A summary calls for a national commitment to continuing education. (MDW)
