In the process of globalisation and integration, human knowledge and skills become outdated or insufficient very quickly. One needs to constantly improve them, as well as acquire new knowledge and skills to be able to fit in with the society and be competitive in the labour market. Lifelong learning is topical both for science and in the practice. In its context, a number of objectives are pursued, which are relevant to all citizens, depending on their age, place of residence, and social status. The objectives meet the interests and abilities of each individual, as well as the needs of economic development. Lifelong learning policies are related to personal fulfilment and determination which provide sustainable competences for work and personal growth. Lifelong learning is an adult education where the students themselves play a major role. In today’s post-industrial era, the responsibility for competitiveness in the labour market is increasing. In the labour market, the main indicator for person’s assessment is professional competence. Professional competence is not just the knowledge; it is skills and responsibility in a particular work situation. This particular work situation can be experienced in practical life, i.e. applying pragmatic approach to learning, however, not all educational institutions can provide it, and not every company is interested in investing in common vocational training. As a result, professionalism is one’s own responsibility, and self-directed informal learning is one of the simplest and most inexpensive ways of how to achieve it.

Contemporary Reality

The crisis of values is pervasive resulting in adverse development in all walks of life. Misra, Srivastava and Gupta (1995) have found that present emphasis on personal growth as opposed to societal development, non-commital attitude, inconsistency in behaviour across situations, increase in violence, corruption, indiscipline and social tension have become parts of the contemporary reality experienced in everyday life of people. There is a progressive erosion of values resulting in public life. Educational institutions are no exception. A proper value system must be inculcated by educational institutions through educational process based on rationality, scientific and moral approach to life. It would be possible to serve the need of the hour through proper value orientation among teacher education programmes.

Like other postmodern structures, post-industrial labour markets display more frequent and rapid changes and higher unpredictability. In these conditions, the world of work is less capable in providing individuals stable signals for the construction of their behaviours. This paper aims to examine both macro and micro factors that shape labour market participation and expectations related to employment outcomes. We explore statistical data from the World Values Survey Wave 7 (2017-2020) collected from almost seventy thousands individuals around the world. Focusing on subjective evaluations of expected employment outcomes, our results are relevant for better understanding labour market participation from a postmodern perspective.
