In the imminent future, an accelerated aging trend is anticipated in certain professions, concomitant with the swift emergence of novel occupational domains. Consequently, there will be a heightened demand for fresh knowledge across diverse age cohorts. Adult education emerges as a pivotal mechanism capable of adeptly addressing this exigency. This study examines the evolving adult education frameworks in both Ukraine and Europe, delineating primary commonalities and distinctive attributes. Additionally, an evaluation of the impact of the European adult education system on the maturation of the national counterpart is undertaken. The findings reveal that the adult education system in Ukraine is grounded in the guidance provided by European counterparts in its developmental trajectory, concurrently aspiring towards autonomous and congruent rejuvenation. The delineated legislative and regulatory framework governing the operation of adult education within our nation underscores the imperative for enhancements in this educational domain. The necessity for the advancement of lifelong learning in Ukraine is underscored through a thorough examination of a sociological survey. The outcomes of this analysis substantiate the exigency to elevate public awareness concerning the phenomenon of adult education and to foster an appreciation for the systematic nature of its operation. The potential for the development of adult education in Ukraine appears promising; however, due to objective constraints, this potential has yet to be fully realized.
