Abstract
Research on the politics of skills formation in Latin America is severely underdeveloped. This article offers a novel characterisation of the supply of skills in the region or 'skills supply profiles', taking inspiration from the comparative capitalisms literature. We identify four configurations of skills supply profiles-universalising, dual academic-oriented, dual VET-oriented and exclusionary- A nd analyse their historical dynamics. By doing this, we challenge general assessments of Latin America's skills formation systems as pertaining to one overarching type. This sets the stage for a deeper understanding of the politics of skills in the region and their connection with different development alternatives.
