Keywords:
life skills, youth, Framework, 21st century, literacy, thematic skillsAbstract
Today’s world is evolving with global challenges. It is important to know that more than 16 percent of today’s world population belongs to youth aged between 15 to 24 years (World youth report 2030 agenda, 2018). To equip them, there is a dire need to nurture Life skills relevant to the evolving context. Hence the construct of life skills was broadened to other thematic skills areas that include: Physical literacy, Psychological literacy, Health literacy, English Language literacy, Political literacy, financial literacy, Digital literacy, Environmental literacy, Global Awareness and Ethics Literacy. The purpose of this research study is to systematically review formulation of 21st century life skills conceptual framework.
