This chapter describes an attempt to outline trends in adult education based on an examination of articles from a sample of Canadian, American and international journals. The study provides an overview of current concerns with economic factors and with workplace training. It is suggested that popular education, literacy and adult development have all lost ground and the adult learner is portrayed most often as a working being. Further, the analysis of the sample journals suggests that the field of adult learning has become increasingly diversified over recent years.
