Do individual learning schemes manage to reach the most disadvantaged groups?

Promoting better access for groups under-represented in training is often a goal of individual learning schemes (Section 1). These groups consist mainly of persons with low education, workers in low-skill occupations, workers in non-standard contracts (self-employed, temporary workers, etc.), workers in small firms, but also more specific groups, such as women returning to work after parental leave, freelancers in the cultural sector, etc. Results of ILS achieving this objective are mixed. One common outcome is that highly skilled individuals, when they are eligible for the scheme, tend to be over-represented among participants. As such, individual learning schemes do not appear to be a panacea to increase access of under-represented groups.
