경기도 권역 평생교육사업 잠재수요자 발굴 및 현황조사

This study analyzed the potential demands of lifelong education programs focusing on the Gyeonggi-do region. The regular degree program was defined as the requirements of the current LiFE program’s specialized high school graduate selection and lifelong learner selection, and the non-regular degree program was defined as the middle-aged (50s) or older of the HIVE program. The research results are as follows. The number of potential applicants for selecting specialized high school graduates in regular degree programs was 10,165 when defined as high school graduates and 14,175 when expanded to 2-year graduates. Potential demands for the lifelong learner model were analyzed as 8,716 people, defined as high school graduates, and 12,189 when expanded to 2-year graduates. This study derived the following policy recommendations from the estimation results based on the Gyeonggi-do region’s industrial characteristics and population type. First, the Gyeonggi-do region is an area with a high concentration of businesses across the country and is characterized by a concentrated distribution of industrial complexes, so a strategy for discovering potential demands is needed, focusing on companies located in industrial complexes. Second, the difference between the working population and the residential population within the Gyeonggi-do region is severe, so it is necessary to differentiate strategies for discovering potential demands by city/county and population type. Third, since the distribution areas for each age group are different, a differentiated approach is needed.
