I am focusing on what sort of youth indices are available; mapping state of the art indexes; recommendations related to potentially most rewarding future paths of involvement.
I am interested in any information about youth index (youth and gender topics). I know European Commission uses Youth index but I am focusing more on political participation.
Thank you for help.
I'm not sure about European resources but here are a few US-based ones.
- CIRCLE (Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement): http://www.civicyouth.org – for info mostly related to voting & similar civic activities
- YPP (Youth & Participatory Politics): http://ypp.dmlcentral.net – "seeks to understand the quantity, quality, and equality of young people's civic and political practices online and off, their pathways between the cultural and the political, and the supports that sustain civic and political engagement."
- Black Youth Project: http://blackyouthproject.com/research – focuses on the political activities of black youth, often in comparison to youth of other races
Good luck!

Here in the UK we have a national network of Youth Councils working with local authorities throughout the country, all taking an active part in civic life. They may be able to help you. http://www.byc.org.uk/uk-work/local-youth-council-network.aspx
