Swindell, Richard
Comparative Education, v35 n2 p235-47 Jun 1999
Universities of the Third Age (U3As) are volunteer-run organizations offering lifelong learning opportunities for older adults. A survey of 84 Australian and 14 New Zealand U3As estimated an annual value of their services of over $4 million and examined organizational and student characteristics, assistance from external organizations, and administrators' preparedness to respond to social change.
