  18. Distribution of Age-Groups 2003

  19. Some Conclusions and Questions ?? • Bring it all together to one picture – see how the training & life long learning system could work more effective by ILAs • There is a need for compensation in life long learning and training – what can ILA cover ? • Why do ILAs/co-financing work better with females ? • Knowledge-based sensible steering of co-financing programs is important – but who holds the steering wheel ? • How much training-unites can the disposable income of an employee buy ? • With or without ILA ? What is the ROI and for whom ?
