Abstract
South Kalimantan is a province in Indonesia with a large number of youths and
has the lowest score in Indonesia Youth Development Index (YDI) 2017.
However, the lowest score is gender and discrimination dimension which
incomplete to be analysed because there are some indicators which are not
included in the dimension. In order to solve the problems, it is necessary to
build a measurement which can monitor the smaller level. By this research, the
author provides a measurement for describing the level of youth development
in classifications for South Kalimantan in 2018. This index is built with analysis
factor method. It consists of five dimensions used in Indonesian YDI 2017 with
some additional indicators. The result of this research shows that the index is
valid measure due to its significant correlation with Indonesia YDI 2017. The
other result is the youth living in urban areas tend to have higher index than
youth who live in rural areas. While the youth who are male, also have a
tendency to have a highver development index than the female population.
The suggestion for South Kalimantan government is in order to improve the
youth, the development priority for every classification can be started from the
classification and dimension of youth index with the lowest achievement.
