Youth Participation Index (YPI), measures the level of opportunity for young people to be involved in the decision-making processes. The YPI consists of three pillars: political participation of young people, social participation of young people and economic participation of young people.

The findings from YPI 2019 show that young people are still largely excluded from the prevailing social, economic and political processes, although there was some evidence of progress. Based on the identified challenges concerning absence of relevant youth-sensitive data and the low level of youth participation, this report outlines key recommendations.
