Chapter 10 · Sweden's modern history
En svensk arbetare behöver lära sig nya digitala verktyg flera gånger under arbetslivet. Vilket behov visar det?
A Swedish worker needs to learn new digital tools repeatedly during working life. What need does this show?
Correct answer: Lifelong learning
Rapid technological change means knowledge needs updating. In an information society, learning throughout life matters, not just education before the first job. Universities, university colleges and adult education therefore expanded.
