- Description: In the later years of life in Australia, after commitment to paid work or family responsibilities declines as life’s primary motivating factors, learning occupies a different life space and purpose from learning in previous life stages. While learning to cope with the expected and unexpected events in later life is known from research elsewhere to be increasingly important (Cooper et al. 2010; Schuller and Watson 2009), the opportunities and places in Australia to learn formally and informally have been decreasing (Golding and Foley 2011). Our chapter argues that spaces for and purposes of older adult learning are less reflected upon, both by older adults themselves, by the wider Australian society and particularly by policy makers and governments in Australia. The prevailing discourse is more about costs of caring than opportunities during ageing. "From chapter"

- Description: This chapter identifies a wide range of learning contexts where research has shown that the pedagogies are inclusive of men and enhance men’s wellbeing. This includes informal community contexts that are seldom seriously considered as learning environments. It is not concerned with the workplace or vocational preparation undertaken through formal education providers. It includes a consideration of men’s learning inten-tions and outcomes that are rarely considered in mainstream formal edu-cational research. These include learning through sporting organisations, fire and emergency service organisations, men’s special interest organisa-tions, age-related organisation as well as religious, ethnic, Indigenous and cultural organisations. The chapter also discusses the characteristics that make these spaces attractive to men. These spaces beyond the workplace are often discounted in contemporary education and training research, and are notably absent in policies and other discourses about men. The chapter also examines how common (and different) places and spaces in diverse national contexts affect and enhance men’s attitudes to learning. While men’s sheds in community settings are given as one example, a fuller analysis of their implications for men’s learning and wellbeing is provided in Chapter Eight

- Description: This introductory chapter seeks, through a broad-brush analysis of a wide range of international research and data, to provide context for our book. It consists of four sections. The first sets the broad intentions and the main source of information for the two parts of our book that follow, including some limitations. The second section seeks to make explicit our interest in focusing mainly on men, particularly those men beyond paid work. The third section teases out some of our theoretical presuppositions about the process, purposes and value of learning that men experience. The fourth explains our reasons for overtly including and emphasising the seldom-theorised link between men’s learning and wellbeing. In its totality, this introductory chapter provides an outline of our equity and evidence-based case for acknowledging worldwide changes and trends that have made this book timely, particularly for men not in paid work, including a ‘big picture’ view of men learning through life in international settings. It begins to delineate a range of social and economic factors, including the global financial crisis and population ageing, that have led to an increase in the proportion of men not in paid work in most developed nations. This increase has been accompanied by a decrease in many nations in the proportion of young men completing post-school qualifications

- Description: Men’s learning, wellbeing and health remained relatively un-problema-tised in Australia until a decade ago. Women have previously (for good reasons) been identified as an equity target group in many areas of edu-cation and health, though this picture is changing. Work in Australia in many sectors of education and health services remains comprehensively gendered. Adult and community education in Australia is attempting to re-invent itself in the wake of two national reports in the 1990s alluding to it as a primarily women’s (Cinderella) sector (Aulich, 1991; Crowley, 1997). New research has identified the difficult situation experienced beyond education and work for men. Australia’s national health policy highlights concerning statistics in relation to some men’s broader health and wellbeing in Australia. Particular groups of men are at risk through effective exclusion from (or opting out of) existing education and health programmes and services, particularly some Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (Indigenous) men, older men, men living in rural areas as well as men who have had limited success at school.

- Description: China has attracted a huge amount of interest from around the world over the last two decades because of its rapid and vigorous economic development. This growth has brought with it significant social and structural changes, which have influenced Chinese people’s lives in many different ways. While this chapter will focus on how this has had an impact on learning by older people, in particular by older men, it is important to stress at the outset that research based on gender, and of older men’s learning in particular, is not common. This is an explora-tory chapter seeking to define the field for future research for possible international comparisons
