Alison Fuller draws on theories of social change to offer a revealing explanation of the growth in adults' take up of qualifications. She goes on to examine the implications of this analysis for widening participation and lifelong learning policies. Set against the backdrop of rapidly changing further and higher education sectors in the UK, the book draws on ideas of 'reflexive modernisation' developed by Anthony Giddens and Ulrich Beck and is illuminated by interviews with mature students.
