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.
βThe Youth Progress Index benchmarks each country against the worst (0) and the best (100) possible scenarios to provide an overall score.β
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.

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.
