Abstract To analyse the factors related to this participation, we ran multivariate analyses using sociodemographic background data and participation in different kinds of active ageing activities. Gender, location, age, leisure activities, volunteering and political activity were found to be predictors of participation in educational courses. Leisure and productive activities showed greater predictive value for participation in educational courses than sociodemographic variables. In the light of the data, policies to promote older people’s participation in educational courses are discussed. |
