Book excerpt: The Global Youth Development Index (YDI), developed by the Commonwealth Secretariat, measures the status of 15-29 year-olds in 170 countries across five key domains: Education, Health and Well-being, Employment, Civic Participation and Political Participation. The Commonwealth Secretariat has now developed a toolkit to help countries analyse their situation at a sub-national level. This report presents the findings for Australia, the first country to pilot the toolkit. Data is presented as available for states and territories, rural versus urban youth, and Indigenous youth, with comparisons between 2010 and 2015. Overall, Australia has comparatively high youth development globally, though there are gaps regionally - between urban and rural groups and for Indigenous youth.
