The Youth Progress Index fully ranks 153 countries, and it also partially covers an additional 43 countries. It combines 60 social and environmental indicators to form an overall score shown on this map.
It is, by its own admission, the world's most comprehensive measurement of young people's quality of life.
“The Youth Progress Index benchmarks each country against the worst (0) and the best (100) possible scenarios to provide an overall score.”
Three countries stand out in comparison to their economic situation:
Serbia & is overall exceeding the expected performance range. Croatia- and Moldova I perform above expectations.

Being from Portugal, this makes me question the whole data. Young people go to college already planning to leave the country, so tough young people may ultimately progress, it is despite Portugal, not because of it.
I question Ireland’s score too. My cousins left as fasts as they could.
