Youth Progress Index 2023: Fiscal Policies and Youth Progress
The Youth Progress Index (YPI) measures factors that matter to and can impact the daily lives of young people, using the Social Progress Index methodology. Do young people have sufficient food to eat? Do they have access to housing, the labour market and quality jobs? Can they read and write? Can they exercise their socio-economic and political rights? Do they live in a community where they feel included and are not discriminated against? Is their future and the future of their children protected from the dangers of environmental destruction? Can they influence politics and hold their political representatives to account, and are they represented in parliament? Do they have the opportunities to live up to their potential, contribute to thriving societies, and shape their future? Read the report to find out how fiscal choices impact young people and how to make fiscal rules work for young people in the EU.
