What the data says

Three patterns shaping the MENA picture.

01

Jobs leads the index summary at 65%.

Kectil Global Youth Index scores summarize each theme's survey statements across the listed countries. Use the Data Explorer for exact question-level results.

02

Year-over-year movement was selective rather than universal.

Most topic-level changes between the 2025 and 2026 surveys were modest; the sharper movement shows up in specific statements. The year-over-year report documents the largest shifts.

03

Regional results describe a respondent pool, not the whole region.

Responses concentrate in a few countries within each grouping, so treat regional comparisons as directional evidence and check country sample sizes before drawing conclusions.
