Youth Progress Index

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.

How is Turkey ranked so much worse than Russia? I really didn't expect it to be this bad.
When I found out my cousin in Turkey who worked at a major car manufacturer as an engineer made less with a PHD then I did waiting tables in the US is when I realized how messed up it was for young people in Turkey.
He has since moved to Belgium and gets paid quite well.
Tbf part of that is likely that prices in Turkey are lower than in the US, but it's still Turkey so the math checks out I guess.
Russia has found a great solution to the problem of poor people. You just get them killed. Once you send them to Ukraine by promising them good pay for once and they get killed, the number of poor people in Russia drops. I wish I was kidding, but that is effectivly what Russia is doing right now.
Place been going downhill since the footstools left.
You can thank Adülf Erdogan for that. He catapulted Türkiye 200 years in the past by making it mandatory to teach religious garbage instead of scientific facts. Atatürk is spinning in his grave.
