This article investigates the impact of continuing education and training for adults on labour market performance in Germany, Denmark, and the United Kingdom. The central hypothesis is that training outcomes differ across countries, and that this heterogeneity in outcomes is due to institutional differences, which may affect the quality of the training provided. Drawing on data from the European Community Household Panel the article analyses (i) how far continuing training reduces the risk of future unemployment spells, (ii) if training increases the odds of re-entering the labour market given unemployment, and (iii) whether training fosters upward occupational mobility. The results suggest that the impact of training varies across the three countries.
