We investigate the cyclicality of skill accumulation in Europe, using data from the European Labour Force Survey (ELFS) for 2005-18. Pooling data across all EU-27 countries, and across employed and not employed workers, we estimate that adult learning – which comprises both formal education and training – is acyclical and that training is mildly countercyclical. We show that there is substantial heterogeneity in the cyclicality of adult learning and training both across European countries and by employment status.
