The
WALL Survey was conducted in 2004 with a large representative
national sample of the adult (18+) Canadian population (N=9,063) to
provide unprecedented quantitative detail on learning and work activities
and their inter-relations. The survey was administered by the Institute
for Social Research at York University.
This
survey is part of the research network on “The Changing Nature
of Work and Lifelong Learning” (WALL) funded by the Social Sciences
and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) as a Collaborative Research
Initiative on the New Economy (Project No. 512-2002-1011). The network
is based at the Centre for the Study of Education and Work (CSEW) at
Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto
(OISE/UT).
The
network also includes 12 related
case studies. A previous research network, New Approaches to Lifelong
Learning (NALL), completed a smaller (N=1,562) related national survey
in 1998 (see www.nall.ca). Over 70
related survey and case study papers are posted on the NALL site and
over 50 papers on the WALL site.
