BENAVIDES-LARA, Mario-Alberto. Youth, human development and higher education: a desirable and possible outreach. Rev. iberoam. educ. super [online]. 2015, vol.6, n.16, pp.165-173. ISSN 2007-2872.

The work hopes to contribute analytical aspects to the considerations about the objectives of higher education and its contribution to human development. To this end the proposal is to include the perspective of youth as a discussion level to help to raise again the ethos of higher education by approaching it to the needs, expectations and collective imagination built from the point of view of young people.

Keywords : capacities; human development; higher education; social exclusion; youth.
