Measuring youth development

The AYDI analyses the state of youth development across the country using internationally tested methodology for the Global Youth Development Index (YDI). The AYDI is not an exhaustive measure of youth development, but provides a snapshot using 25 indicators across six domains: Health and Wellbeing, Education and Skills, Employment and Opportunity, Civic and Political Participation, Safety and Security, and Community and Culture.

The AYDI is a valuable tool to support young people, policy makers and researchers to engage in evidence based discussions and decision making. The AYDI was funded by the Australian Government Department of Health and created by Numbers and People Synergy in partnership with the Australian Youth Affairs Coalition.
