International Youth Foundation | Global Partnership for Youth Employment (GPYE)

The inaugural Global Youth Wellbeing Index gathers and connects youth-related data to assess and compare the state of young people’s wellbeing around the world. The Index is designed to facilitate both thought and action by elevating youth needs and opportunities and young people’s participation on national and global agendas. It also provides public and private sector decision-makers an easier way to understand the big picture, guide actions and investments, and drive progress over time. The Index ranks 30 high- to low-income countries in five regions that represent nearly 70 percent of the world’s youth

In 2008, with support from the World Bank, they joined with the Youth Employment Network, the Arab Urban Development Institute, and the Understanding Children's Work Project to create the Global Partnership for Youth Employment and Employability (GPYE).
With a special focus on Africa and the Middle East, GPYE sought to address the youth employment challenge through improved knowledge-sharing, policy dialogue, and local engagement. Using this evidence-based approach, partners launched a range of youth employment programs, research initiatives, and learning events through 2014. IYF served as the secretariat for the partnership, which saw results such as increased commitment to youth employment by municipal governments in the Middle East.
