Under the Expert database of CIRDAP, the 2nd webinar on “Indian Youth Development Index and Global Youth Development Index with particular reference to CIRDAP Member Countries” was held virtually on 27th September, 2021. The presenter was Prof. Vasanthi Rajendran, Rajiv Gandhi National Institute of Youth Development (RGNIYD), Tamil Nadu, India. Different participants, researchers and experts attended this webinar virtually. Dr. Rajendran presented the context of Global youth development index (GYDI) in reference to CIRDAP member countries. After the presentation a descriptive and fruitful discussions was held among the audiences.
The GYDI measures six distinct domains that are considered key aspects of youth development: Health and Wellbeing, Education, Employment and Opportunity, Equality and Inclusion, Political and Civic Participation & Peace and Security. The YDI score is a number between 0 and 1, with 1 representing the highest possible level of youth development attainable across all indicators. A score of 0 therefore, reflects little to no youth development. The scoring system resembles that of UNDP’s Human Development Index.
