This article asks the question, then seemingly goes on three different tangents unrelated to lifelong learning. Further, implicit in this discussion is that the worker will continue to learn in the employer's interest without being paid. I can be a lifelong learner of music composition, but I don't think my employer cares about that. They're looking for my lifelong pursuit to increased productivity for their benefit. (Ironically, that increased productivity makes a lot more sense if I am not selling my labor but rather am building capital for myself.) That said, employers can encourage lifelong learning by paying for it in wages and time allotted during the workday.
