What is the impact of education and learning on our societies and economies? What can be done to even out inequalities in education? And how can we ensure that everyone at every stage of their life is able to pursue the learning that benefits them most and fully develops their human capital? This book harnesses the unique resources of the OECD to answer some of these crucial questions. Based on research and analysis from the OECD's 30 member countries, it explains the increasing importance of human capital to individuals and societies as they cope with social and economic change. It also looks at where countries are failing and succeeding in providing education and training to support people throughout their lives. [Ed.]

Providing an in-depth, novel analysis of education’s role in today’s economy by scrutinizing its theoretical underpinnings, this volume critiques the suitability of the current, dominant economic framework for education and for shaping educational policymaking worldwide. Critically examining the history and philosophy that underpin our present societal understanding of the link between economics and education, the book argues for an urgent redefining of education’s role in the economy based on intellectual foundations that significantly differ from our current, dominant conceptions. Across seven chapters, the book posits that the adoption of a new philosophical framework, the reshaping of economic and educational aims, and the adjustment of our educational system are each necessary to better promote human flourishing. Ultimately providing a platform to entirely reconsider the idea that the primary aim of education is to serve the economic system – in particular, economic growth – this book will appeal to scholars, researchers, and postgraduate students studying educational policy, the philosophy of education, and the history of education more broadly. Education policymakers and academics studying education and the economy may also find this book of interest.
