12Reasons for not undertaking studyRespondents were also asked to list the reasons why they had not participated in any form of education and training during the previous 12 months. Table 15 lists the percentages of men and women who selected each of the nominated reasons. The most common reason given by both men and women in each age group was that they faced time constraints. Although working-age men and women in particular cited time constraints, fewer than 30% of men and just 35% of women aged between 50 and 54 years were too busy to undertake education and training. Fewer than 10% of men and women aged 65 years or more selected time constraints as a reason for not undertaking education or training. Women were more likely than men to indicate that courses were too expensive or that they had family responsibilities preventing them from undertaking education and training. Only 3% of men and 6% of women cited personal health as a reason for not engaging in education and training. A similar proportion of men and women cited a lack of confidence.
