More DescriptionThis paper recommends ways in which lifelong learning could be more effective in its contribution to poverty reduction. This is the sixth of the Inquiry into the Future of Lifelong Learning's thematic papers to be published. Written by Leisha Fullick, one of the Inquiry's commissioners, the paper argues poverty contributes to inequality and social exclusion, which affects us all and that lifelong learning has an important contribution to make to poverty reduction.

This paper recommends ways in which lifelong learning could be more effective in its contribution to poverty reduction, including its integration with other policy measures.
