Summary/Abstract: The authors attempt to evaluate current and prospective possibilities of the lifelong-learning system to act as an element in Ukraine’s social and economic development. After analysing the content of the concept of “lifelong learning” and features of terminological interaction, it was possible to explore possibilities of lifelong learning in promoting Ukraine’s development, while taking the current challenges of civilisational development into account. An analysis of global trends and the need for close up focus on Industry 4.0 challenges made it possible to substantiate the thesis that the country’s system of lifelong learning should focus less on timely updating of professional knowledge than on active long-term inclusion of education subjects in large-scale sociocultural transformations.
