Resumen
Descripción
This report focuses on the trends of
adolescent and youth well-being in Tanzania, identifying how
and why well-being has or has not changed over time. The
report conceptualizes well-being holistically. Well-being
can be defined as one’s ability and opportunity to learn,
make decisions, live a healthy life (physically and
mentally), be well-nourished, express agency, have peace of
mind, and ultimately be economically empowered. Well-being
can be accumulated over time and is a composite of multiple
aspects that affect the life one lives and the quality of
that life. In many ways, how to live a good life and whether
one is living this good life has been a key question asked
across countries, and there are multiple frameworks that
have been used to measure well-being. For the purposes of
this study, six domains of well-being are recognized: (1)
education and learning, (2) bodily integrity, (3) health,
(4) psychological well-being (peace), (5) voice and agency,
and (6) economic empowerment and skills. These domains are
interconnected, and, also considered is the idea of peace of
mind, without which, there is no wellness.
