LONDON – Singapore came in first in a global survey of youth development which measures the status of young people and their competence, capabilities, and economic opportunities for full participation as active citizens in their countries.
Singapore’s achievement is made even more substantial because the Commonwealth survey is based on statistical data sets going back to 2010, and Singapore has maintained its top position since the publication of a previous comparable study in 2020. “By measuring contributions and needs with hard data, our advocacy for their development becomes more powerful,” said Ms Scotland.
The YDI relied on comparable country data from the respective countries’ national statistics agencies, international sources such as the World Bank and the United Nations, and comparative statistical work conducted by the Institute for Economics and Peace, a global think-tank headquartered in Australia.Youth initiative launched to develop life skills, mental wellness and passion for learning
The study also commends Brunei as being “among the countries that have moved the most places up the ranks relative to other Commonwealth countries” since the previous YDI report issued in 2020.
