Universal Basic Capabilities

Universal Basic Capabilities refer to the essential skills and resources that every individual should possess to lead a fulfilling and autonomous life. Unlike traditional notions that focus solely on income or basic needs, this concept emphasizes empowering people with the abilities—such as literacy, critical thinking, and digital skills—and access to opportunities like education, healthcare, and information. The goal is to enable everyone, regardless of background, to pursue personal development and participate fully in society, fostering equity and human dignity through a broader set of capabilities.
