Abstract

The purpose of the Work and Lifelong Learning (WALL) Papers is to provide an integrated list of resources produced by the members of the research network on “The Changing Nature of Work and Lifelong Learning in the New Economy: National Survey and Case Study Perspectives.” The WALL Research Network was funded from 2003 to 2008 by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research of Canada (SSHRC) as part of its Collaborative Research Initiative on the New Economy. The WALL Survey was conducted in 2004 with a large representative national sample of the adult (18+) Canadian population (N=9,063). The WALL network included 12 case studies. The case study groups examined learning and work relations in varying work contexts. The WALL Survey and several case studies build on the larger array of case studies completed by the NALL research network (see www.nall.ca). The Work and Lifelong Learning (WALL) Papers includes all books, articles, audiovisual materials, technical reports, conference papers, working papers and theses completed to date by members of the WALL Research Network research team.
