Description
Definition
The Youth Development Index measures a community's focus on the welfare of its children. This index includes general measures of development of youth and respect for youth, along with satisfaction with the educational system. The Youth Development Index has correlations with almost all Gallup Worldwide Research indexes, though the strongest are with the National Institutions, Community Basics, Financial Wellbeing, and Law and Order indexes.
Externally, correlations with numerous youth-related measures demonstrate the index's validity. The percentage of GDP spent on education, infant mortality rate, and adolescent fertility rate are all significantly correlated with the Youth Development Index.
INDEX QUESTIONS
- In the city or area where you live, are you satisfied or dissatisfied with the educational system or the schools? (WP93)
- Do you believe that children in (country) are treated with respect and dignity, or not? (WP129)
- Do most children in (country) have the opportunity to learn and grow every day, or not? (WP130)
INDEX CONSTRUCTION
Index scores are calculated at the individual record level. For each individual record the following procedure applies: The three items are recoded so that positive answers are scored as a "1" and all other answers (including don't know and refused) are assigned a score of "0." If a record has no answer for an item, then that item is not eligible for inclusion in the calculations. An individual record has an index calculated if it has valid scores for all items. A record's final index score is the mean of valid items multiplied by 100. The final country-level index score is the mean of all individual records for which an index score was calculated. Country-level weights are applied to this calculation.
RELIABILITY
The Youth Development Index has a Cronbach's alpha of .83 when aggregated at the country level.
