Abstract	Non-formal adult education (NFE) encompasses a broad spectrum of organised learning activities for adults outside the formal educational system; including on-the-job training; workshops as well as individual lessons. Both governments and international organisations have regularly highlighted the importance of high participation rates in NFE as a precondition for the successful establishment of a lifelong learning society. Despite this claim; countries around the world vary a great deal in terms of overall participation of their population; social groups involved; and factors that influence access to NFE. This paper focuses on the long-term participation in NFE in the Czech Republic by investigating the development of adult participation in NFE between 1997 to 2020. We aim to present (1) the main long-term trends in participation in NFE; (2) changes in the critical socio-demographical factors that have influenced the involvement of adults in NFE. For this purpose; we analyse data from international surveys (IALS; PIAAC and AES) as well as from the CZ-ALE; a national survey focused on adult education and learning. Our analysis has found that although participation in NFE significantly increased between 1997 and 2016; it sharply decreased in 2020. In addition; while participation inequality between lower and higher educated adults declined from 2011 to 2020; inequality based on economic activity increased during the same period. Finally; occupational class position has played an important role in the likelihood of participation in NFE; but the influence of this factor has not been as significant as that of employment status.
