Understanding the experience of low-wage workers: Challenges in lifelong learning participation

Assoc Prof. HO Moon-Ho, Nanyang Technological University

This project aims to understand the impact of psychosocial and institutional factors on the pursuit of lifelong learning among low-wage workers.

The results can be used to refine and develop policy, scheme, or pedagogy that caters to the needs of the low-wage working population and helps them engage better in learning, particularly the transferable skills.
