Abstract	This document was prepared to identify long-term needs and opportunities for adult education, suggesting the implications of long-term social changes without proposing specific actions or institutional arrangements. Following an introduction, chapter 2 discusses the following trends: (1) continued population growth, including the sources and geographical distributions of that growth; (2) increasing ethnic and racial pluralism; (3) the aging of the U.S. population; (4) changes in family life and parenthood, including the experience of single parents and mothers; (5) work and workers in transition, including changing skill requirements, displacement of workers, career changes, and emerging labor shortages; (6) polarities of education and skills, including the scope of illiteracy; (7) new public policy initiatives such as the GAIN Welfare reform program; and (8) special client groups, including disabled persons and prisoners. Chapter 3 gives the implications of each of those trends for adult education. (CML)
