Promoting decent work and decent life for all: Preparing the next generation through decent education and career development education

Abstract

This article advances a prevention and positive youth development perspective for promoting access to decent work and decent lives for all. We apply the psychology of working theory to consider the readiness of youth to contribute to this aspirational goal and the roles that education and career development education could play in furthering a reality of decent work and decent lives. We propose a transformative model of career development education that encompasses youth purpose, career adaptability, hope, critical consciousness, relational support, and equitable systems.
