Project description
Lifelong learning and female migrant healthcare workers in Scandinavia
Europe has long prioritised increasing lifelong learning (LLL) participation among adults aged 25 to 64 to foster sustainable growth and inclusivity. Despite these efforts, many countries have yet to meet their targets. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the SCILLED project will examine LLL implementation in the healthcare sector across three Scandinavian countries. The study will focus on gender and migration, exploring the experiences of female migrant healthcare workers, vital contributors to Europe’s socio-demographic landscape. The project will include a replicable pilot study bridging academic and non-academic sectors to improve training opportunities.
Objective
For several decades, Europe has been investing substantial efforts to boost national, institutional and individual engagement in education and training for adults aged 25-64, also referred to as lifelong learning (from now 'LLL'), to drive sustainable growth and to build a more inclusive society. However, the majority of European contexts has neither reached nor approached the set threshold of aspired lifelong learners, which had been defined in the light of the constantly changing demands on the labour market. Accordingly, LLL in general, and high-quality, timely, tailor-made opportunities for on-the-job training in particular have been declared one of the top priorities for the strategic 2030-goals within the European Education Area.
On this account, the SCILLED project questions how (professional) LLL is planned, practiced and experienced in one of the largest and most profoundly transforming industries worldwide: the healthcare sector. This research concern has been put in the context of gender and migration studies and is thus exemplified with the case of female migrant healthcare workers, key resources in the contemporary European socio-demographic and political landscape.
SCILLED has been projected as a multi-site, pluri-instrumental research in 3 Scandinavian countries that are considered at the vanguard of LLL governance. It uses thus both, qualitative and quantitative data, to bridge the national, institutional and individual perspective on lifelong and lifewide professional adult training in Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
The SCILLED research design provides for a replicable pilot study that builds on a holistic view of LLL linking academic and non-academic fields of work. In this vein, project findings will be exploited through a co-created podcast series that involves the SCILLED research participants as protagonists of the production and stimulates hence knowledge generation and science diffusion from citizens for citizens.
