2016
ABSTRACTSocial engagement has powerful effects on wellbeing, but variation in individual engagement throughout the lifecourse is wide.

DIGITALIZATION OF ADULT EDUCATION IN THE CONTEXT OF HUMAN CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT
2021
Modern society has entered a new century in the process of increasing global change, among which human changes and their development sharply lag behind the changes in the techno-economic sphere.

It also shows Ukraine's place in the human capital index of countries, which includes education as one of the rating points. With the changing nature of work, som…
