Part I (published in Vol. 9 1997) reviewed the weaknesses of public education and training policies and programmes for dealing with problems of the economy and the labour market. This Part discusses some of the findings of research about how workers learn. Learning-by-doing during production links education, employment and production methods and is one source of economic progress. The challenge to education and labour market policies is to harness the ability of human beings to think independently, to recognize and resolve problems, and not to instruct workers in specific ways of doing their jobs.References
