Abstract

The study examines the relationship between education and demography in the perspective of life-long learning. The worsening demographic indicators are traced back to several factors, one of the first is the prolonged learning time of the young generation. As a result of the expansion of education, most young people continue their studies. Regular training is also necessary in the world of work and education, therefore learning–in addition to work–further postpones the time to start a family. According to the results of various researches, young people are family-centered with high potential fertility, but the plans after graduation are often left unfulfilled. Our question is how it is possible to help the young to match their plans of a career and a private life. Another question that we attempt to answer through our research results is whether it is possible to achieve lifelong learning and career development when one has a family.
