Abstract
The study is a philosophical appraisal of the emerging trend of Adult education in a
depressed economy. Nigeria is currently being bitten hard by depressed economy. The depression is characterized by economic hardship, high inflation, accumulation
of debt servicing, unemployment and job loss amongst others. This lends credence

consciousness through technologies in-built into the programs of the education. This is based on the fact that education has been globally regarded and
recognized as an instrument of change and social transformation. Hence, there is
need to make a philosophical appraisal of the emerging trend of Adult education to
throw more lights on how the programs of the education could enhance and
improve the productive powers of the learners to breed adequate development. The paper concludes that adequate strengthening of Adult education through its
philosophical base is indisputable a force for promoting individuals survival in a
depressed economy. The paper makes a suggestion of new innovation that can
serves as eye’s openers for the individuals who wants to know more about the
emerging trend of Adult education and to assist them in the development and
imbibing of new skills
