This study analyzed the experiences of lifelong learning participation among vulnerable groups in the labor market, who are greatly influenced by economic and industrial structural changes and labor market volatility, and their perceptions of social mobility. The analysis revealed that the common motivation for engaging in lifelong learning among vulnerable workers was to improve their income levels through employment, reemployment, and skill enhancement. The study also revealed that the types of lifelong learning that are most effective for vulnerable workers varied depending on their occupations, and it was found that sustained participation in lifelong learning, accumulation of learning outcomes, and acquisition of learning outcomes recognized by the labor market could be linked to increased social mobility.
Based on these findings, the study highlighted that in order for lifelong learning to contribute to enhancing social mobility, it is necessary to establish a comprehensive learning counseling service system to promote participation in lifelong learning among vulnerable groups in the labor market, improve the systematic nature of lifelong learning to facilitate skill improvement in substance, and establish a social recognition system for lifelong learning outcomes.
