These seven papers offer an insight into the different aspects of recurrent education in Yugoslavia. "Recurrent Education and Educational Changes" considers these three processes: the "de-etatization," the democratization, and the de-schooling of education. "The Unity of Education and Work and Recurrent Education" proposes that this unity implies the transformation of recurrent education into a new concept of simultaneous education and work as the basis of the whole educational system. In "Recurrent Education and Social Equality" discussion focuses on the solution of employment problems for low complexity jobs and education for such jobs. Recurrent education is described and educational innovations and suggestions for its further development are discussed in "Present Situation and Developments in Recurrent Education." The paper, "Psychological Aspects of Recurrent Education," considers objectives of recurrent education, factors affecting successful adult learning, learning abilities, relevant experience and foreknowledge, mental fitness, and motivation for education. "Financing Recurrent Education in Yugoslavia" discusses the basic interdependence of recurrent education and the process of structural change in the Yugoslav economy.
