Statistics Canada conducted the Adult Education Survey (AES) in 1984 on behalf of the Department of the Secretary of State and the Adult Training Survey (ATS) in 1986, on behalf of Employment and Immigration Canada. In the late 1980s, as the number of adult Canadians pursuing education and training programs increased, there was a renewed interest in education and retraining as economic development issues. These concerns resulted in Employment and Immigration Canada commissioning Statistics Canada to conduct the Adult Education and Training Survey (AETS) in November 1990, and again in 1992.The main objective of all four surveys was to measure participation rates. In general, each successive questionnaire evolved into a more detailed and comprehensive survey instrument, with greater emphasis on profiling the role of the employer and identifying barriers to training. In 1994, the AETS was modified to explore areas such as access to training. The 1998 Adult Education and Training Survey is comparable to the 1994 survey. A few new questions on motivations and expectations have been added. And, for the first time, the survey is being conducted using computer-assited interviewing. The objectives of the survey are: to measure the incidence of adult education and training in Canada in a comprehensive manner; to provide a socioeconomic and demographic profile of individuals who participate and do not participate in adult education and training; profile the types, duration and location of training and education that individuals receive; to profile employer involvement in the training and education process; and to identify barriers faced by individuals who wish to take some form of education and training but cannot.
