Abstract	One of the main strategies for achieving lifelong learning objectives in Denmark has been to steadily shore up and improve the efficiency of the institutional arrangements for adult learning and to progressively strengthen the arrangements for financing it. Because there has been no attempt to create totally new structures or programs, the trends in outlays for lifelong learning and numbers of learners served have been steadily, albeit not sharply upward. The focus has been on increasing the cost-effectiveness and quality of learning opportunities in order to strengthen the incentives for different actors to invest in it and thereby make lifelong learning more affordable. According to Denmark's "taximeter" system for funding educational programs, education and training providers, including lifelong learning providers, receive per capita grants from the state for each full-time equivalent enrollment. Denmark also has several arrangements to provide replacement income to individuals who choose to take leave from paid employment to participate in lifelong learning or to participate in lifelong learning while unemployed. Lifelong learning in Denmark is thus heavily publicly subsidized, with public authorities bearing most of the direct costs and a substantial share of the indirect costs (foregone income). The existing arrangements for financing lifelong learning are seen as largely satisfactory. (MN)
