Abstract	This report reviews the engagement of older learners (defined as those aged 50 and over) in education and training with particular reference to their involvement in higher education.

Appended are: (1) Selected UK institutions with centres/institutes for lifelong learning; and (2) Examples of initiatives outside the UK. (Contains 20 tables and 11 charts.) (As Provided).
