Despite the strong appeal of life in your hometown, there’s a lot more to the world than just these 32 counties. The YouthfulCities Global Index have studied 55 major cities in order to determine which city is the best place for people aged between 15-29 to live in.

The selection criterion included; the level of people in the city of a similar age, education, employment, nightlife, culture, wage and others.
