LONDON: Singapore came in first in a global survey of youth development which measures the status of young people and their competence, capabilities and economic opportunities for full participation as active citizens in their countries.

The Republic ranked best on overall youth development not only among the Commonwealth’s 56 member nations but also in comparison with 182 nations worldwide. The Global Youth Development Index Report was compiled and just released by the Commonwealth, an international association of sovereign states, the vast majority of which are former territories of the British Empire.
