The Youth Progress Index is one of the first instruments developed to give the full story of what life is like for a young person today, independent of economic indicators.
Are young people able to exercise their socioeconomic and political rights? Do they live in a community where they feel included and not discriminated against? Do they have sufficient food to eat? Do they have access to housing?
The Youth Progress Index brings together reliable, relevant data to give each country a score on how well different countries meet Basic Human Needs, Foundations of Wellbeing, and Opportunity.
