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.
“My hope is that most youths realise their potential and how much positive change we could make if we are on deck.”
