The concept of lifelong learning is diverse (cf. Laal 2012) and it contains objectives such as “active citizenship, personal fulfillment, and social inclusion, as well as employment-related aspects” (European Commission 2001, 3: cf. Kehm 2015). Lifelong learning has significant impacts on the individual, society, and economy, as exemplified by the statement “Individuals’ capacity to be effective in their working life is now claimed to be necessary to sustain individual, local and national well-being” (Billet & Pavlova 2015). Lifelong learning is also crucial in reskilling, upgrading skills, or developing the skills required by the changing working life. Lifelong learning is a continuous process, and occasionally lifelong learning is described as continuous learning. Lifelong learning and continuing learning are sometimes used as synonyms. However, lifelong learning is the established way to describe the learning activities that continue throughout human life. For example, the OECD and the EU use lifelong learning as a definition of continuing education and training activities. If we consider adult learning, it refers more specifically to the learner's age. But when we think about the scope of lifelong learning, children and youth are also continuous learners. To be more precise, it is useful to make a distinction between the different modes of learning. For example, 6 Laal and Laal (2014) have categorized learning as formal learning, non-formal learning, and informal learning which will be used throughout this study as defined below. All these occur continuously throughout our lives.  You are required to discuss how the concept of lifelong learning can contribute to the individual, society, and economic development of a country.
