Book excerpt: Over the past two decades, the Association for Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has sought to expand beyond its role as an intergovernmental organisation towards strengthening the region as a community of shared aspirations and welfare for the 654 million population of ASEAN. Of particular importance is engagement of the region0́9s youth, which includes enhancing Awareness of ASEAN, promoting ASEAN Values, and fostering a sense of ASEAN Identity among the younger generation in the region. To that end, in 2017, ASEAN launched the ASEAN Youth Development Index (YDI). The ASEAN YDI aims to track key indicators of welfare and affinity for ASEAN among young people across the region.
