Capability Approach

The Capability Approach is a framework for assessing human well-being and social justice. It focuses on what individuals are able to do and to be, emphasizing their freedoms and opportunities. Instead of measuring wealth alone, it considers various capabilities—such as education, health, and personal choices—that enable people to live fulfilling lives. This approach recognizes that different people have different needs and potentials, advocating for policies that enhance individuals' abilities to achieve their goals and improve their quality of life, ultimately promoting equality and empowerment in society.
