Description
Long Life Learning (2020) argues decisively that the ways in which we currently think about education and its relationship to work are broken and passé. More and more jobs are being automated, college degrees have been devalued, and people are living longer lives than ever before. These factors, combined with others, are a blaring signal that we must shift toward learning that is designed to be both lifelong and suitable for longer lives.
