Analyses conducted by IEA IDB analyzer; MtL motivation to learn; NFE12 participation in non-formal education in the 12 months preceding survey (derived); NFE12JR participation in non-formal education for job-related reasons in the 12 months preceding survey (derived); NFE12NJR participated in non-formal education for non-job-related reasons in 12 months preceding survey (derived); values of NFE12, NFE12JR and NFE12NJR combined: 0 did not participate; 1 participated; _L literacy included as second predictor; SE standard error; sample restricted to working population (i.e., employed for more than 10 h per week in the 12 months preceding the survey and aged between 30 and 49) where test language is the same as native language; the OECD patch was used for the adjustment of the NFE variables; significant coefficients are printed in italics (p < 0.05); for further description see text
