Lebanese Youth Indicator (LYI)

LYI is the Lebanese Youth Indicator. It aims at measuring how healthy the socio-economic situation in Lebanon is based on the access of the competent and independent Lebanese youth to decision making roles. It also considers other factors revolving around the role of the Lebanese youth in reviving the struggling Lebanese economy, reversing the corrupt political scene, and the aching society. The indicator looks into both the resident Lebanese youth and the Diaspora across the world.
