Unpacking gender and social and emotional skills in the Global South

Children’s skills are a broad field and consistent terminology is elusive. In this episode, Matthew Jukes focuses on social and emotional skills, in particular how they are valued in the Global South. Matthew discusses Young Lives latest research on socio-emotional skills which shows how gender differences emerge in adolescence, what this means for girls’ and boys’ life chances and how policies and programmes can support future opportunities. Speakers: Cath Porter, Director, Young Lives, University of Oxford Matthew Jukes, Fellow in International Education at RTI International Julia Tilford, Communications Manager, Young Lives.
