韩国自然资源贫乏,人多地少,直到60年代初还很贫穷。当今,韩国能跻身于世界新兴工业化国家和地区的行列,主要受益于人力资源的有效开发,其中成人教育是促进经济腾飞的重要动力。 从60年代开始,随着韩国国民经济的发展,社会对各级各类技术人才的需求量日益增长, South Korea, poor in natural resources and small in population, remained poor until the early 1960s. Today, South Korea ranks among the world’s newly industrialized countries and regions, mainly benefiting from the effective development of human resources. Adult education is an important driving force for economic growth. Since the 1960s, with the development of the national economy of South Korea, the demand for various types of technical personnel at all levels has been increasing.
