Life Skills Education for Youth: Critical Perspectives

---

This chapter provides an overview of how life skills are conceptualized and
taken up in curriculum, teaching, and measurement in different educational settings
around the world, as discussed in the chapters in this book. We focus on life skills
programming in low- and middle-income countries because bilateral and multilateral
aid organizations have signifcantly shaped discourse and programming in life skills
education. We intentionally included studies utilizing a variety of research methodologies, which allow for a deep understanding of both the micro level (curriculum, pedagogy, and youth engagement and outcomes) and macro level (organizational processes
and assumptions) in life skills programming and policy. Chapters in the book highlight a disconnect between the dominant individualistic behavioral approach used by
many organizations and programs and the life skills that youth and local communities
emphasize as important to change social and economic problems. To respond to this
disconnect, this chapter provides an overview of a capabilities approach to life skills,
with the purpose of focusing on wellbeing. We suggest that life skills education should
develop the capabilities that societies and individuals have reason to value.
