Abstract
There is a North Carolina study of participation patterns of low socioeconomic status (SES) adults in educational programs. The findings are based on interviews from nearly 7,000 adults living in 31 low socioeconomic counties in North Carolina. The researchers found a high level of interest in education and job training among low SES adults. But there was far less actual participation than interest in participation. About one-third of the adults interviewed were neither interested in participation nor had a record of past participation.
