What the data says
Kectil Global Youth Index scores summarize each theme's survey statements across the listed countries. Use the Data Explorer for exact question-level results.
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.
Responses concentrate in a few countries within each grouping, so treat regional comparisons as directional evidence and check country sample sizes before drawing conclusions.
