DESCRIPTION:Drawing from a review of theoretical\, methodologi
 cal\, and empirical literature on life skills from
  the fields of education\, public health\, psychol
 ogy\, economics\, and international development\, 
 this presentation attempts to clarify basic defini
 tional and conceptual issues that relate to life s
 kills education. It addresses the questions: 1) Wh
 at are life skills\, and how should they conceptua
 lized as a component of educational quality? And 2
 ) What bodies of practice and research evidence co
 nverge in the rise of ‘life skills’ programming an
 d increased interest in ‘life skills’ among though
 t leaders and donors in the field of international
  development education? The presentation identifie
 s implications from this analysis to be considered
  in research and interventions that focus on life 
 skills for adolescents\, particularly in light of 
 global efforts to improve the quality of education
  and empower girls and women.
