Assessing Youth Wellbeing: Toward a Global Youth Wellbeing Index

This report presents updates on the progress of the Global Youth Wellbeing Index. The International Youth Foundation, together with the Youth, Prosperity, and Security Initiative of the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), is developing the index to fill a significant gap among the numerous comparative measures of national poverty, development, and wellbeing.

This report includes feedback from a series of domain-specific discussions with small groups of thought leaders, sector experts, and stakeholders  on the virtues of specific indicators and data sets for each of the six proposed domains. These key discussion points and conclusions will be reflected in the final index, released in April 2014.
