摘要

The paper conducts a primarily qualitative, but also partly quantitative, comparative analysis of election manifestos at the national level in Austria and Germany in 2024 and 2025, focusing on the role of vocational continuing education within political competition. Significant political differences between parties and party families become evident. A striking finding is the dominance of functional adaptation to transformation processes, while care work is almost entirely absent as a topic. As expected, target groups are addressed mainly as potential voters, whereas providers and continuing education staff are hardly considered. Differences between the two countries exist, but similarities also emerge. The article identifies a need for further research on how these election manifestos are developed, transformed into government programs, and why there is partial silence regarding adult and continuing education. It also touches upon the question of whether the governance approach contains depoliticizing tendencies and whether it might currently be more important to engage with political contestation of ideas—a dimension not limited to election manifestos.
