I review the recent theory progress on possibly measuring the light quark couplings, emphasizing the distinction between direct and indirect measurements. I highlight the importance of the W-+/- h charge asymmetry measurement as a direct probe of enhanced light quark Yukawa couplings. I propose the W-+/- h -> l(+/-)l(+/-) qq'vv final state as a promising channel for measuring the charge asymmetry. This clean, same-sign dilepton final state should reach statistical discovery sensitivity in each VIT h charge mode with 300 fb(-1) of Large Hadron Collider luminosity, and affords an impressive sub-percent statistical accuracy with the anticipated 3 ab(-1) high luminosity upgrade. After accounting for current direct constraints on the total Higgs width, the W(+/-)h charge asymmetry could deviate from the Standard Model expectation by tens of percent. The measurement of a non-Standard Model asymmetry would hence provide strong indications of enhanced light quark Yukawa couplings.
