There are more young people in the world today than ever
before. Yet surprisingly little is known about the current
state of afairs in youth development. Measuring the
well-being of young people continues to be a challenge,
even though its importance is widely recognised.
The
Global Youth Development Index and Report
provides
an evidence-based overview of the state of development
for the nearly 1.8 billion young people between the ages
of 15 and 30 in the world. The Youth Development Index
(YDI) is a composite index of 18 indicators that collectively
measure progress on youth development in 183 countries,
including 49 of the 53 Commonwealth countries. The YDI
has fve domains, measuring levels of education, health
and well-being, employment and opportunity, political
participation and civic participation among young people.
“The YDI is an admirable efort and timely contribution by
the Commonwealth Secretariat to fll a critical gap in the
global development landscape”
