18 <strong>Commonwealth</strong> <strong>Youth</strong> <strong>Development</strong> <strong>Index</strong>: National and Regional Toolkit<br />
The five domains and 18 indicators that make up the YDI were<br />
selected by the <strong>Commonwealth</strong> Secretariat <strong>Youth</strong> <strong>Development</strong><br />
<strong>Index</strong> Technical Advisory Committee. The committee is<br />
composed of leading academics, practitioners and experts in<br />
youth development from various <strong>Commonwealth</strong> countries.<br />
The committee made its deliberations over a long period of<br />
consultation and with extensive reference to the scoping research<br />
on the <strong>Commonwealth</strong> PAYE and the WPAY from United Nations<br />
Division of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA).<br />
The full report on the YDI and a methodology report is available<br />
online. 6 It details statistical methods used in the YDI, which can<br />
be replicated in a national or regional YDI. Appendix A provides<br />
a detailed Indicator description including rationales, sources and<br />
years available, and it can be used as a template to keep detailed<br />
and accurate information on the data you plan to use.<br />
