Abstract

This article analyzes the formulations of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) for Youth and Adult Education in the context of the structural crisis of the Capital system. It is articulated around the following question for analysis: how do UNESCO’s formulations regarding Youth and Adult Education respond to the processes of sociometabolism of barbarism that express the intensification of the capitalist crisis from 2010 onwards? Its objectives are: to identify the meaning of the concept formulated by UNESCO of lifelong learning in the context of the sociometabolism of barbarism and to outline the place of Youth and Adult Education in relation to UNESCO’s formulations regarding lifelong learning. Youth and Adult Education converges, in UNESCO’s formulations, to a place of mediation between economic growth and social development in capitalism. The ideopolitical character of this mediation reveals mechanisms of alienation, inculcation and manipulation that preserve the processes of exploitation, domination and oppression over the working and living conditions of the working class.
