of youth. The reason of this finding is because disability affects some aspects
of youth in developing themselves. The study from Australia-Indonesia
Partnership (2017) found that the youth with disability have lower educational
attainment than others, very few youths with disability are studying beyond
age 18. Youth with disability also seem to be more at risk of common health
problems. Lower education and training, lower health status and limited access
to services and infrastructure hampers their economic opportunities.

The Index Result
In this research, analysis factor is done using transformative data (z-score),
the transformative data of each individual data and each indicator could be
positive if the original data is more than the average, and could be negative If
the original data is less than the average. Therefore, the composite index result
could be positive, zero (if it is the same as the average), and negative. The
youth with index score more than zero means that in the aggregate, their
development index is above the national average development.
The index score with the transformative data is not easy to compare as
there is no clear minimum and maximum score. Thus, the composite index
score would be transformed into cumulative probability with approach that
the distribution of the data is standardized normal (mean 0 and variance 1).
This kind of transformation has been used beforehand by BPS-Statistics
Indonesia in Regional Development Index. After that, the score is multiplied
by 100 so the index score will be in the range 0-100. Youth with index score
100 means that the youth are perfectly developed.
After all, to assess the validity of this index, it can be correlated with
another valid index (OECD, 2008). In this research, the youth development
index 2018 in South Kalimantan will be correlated with South Kalimantan
youth development index published by Bappenas 2017 as shows in the Table
2.
Table 2. Result of correlating two indices
Spearman Correlation 0,622*
Sig. (2 tailed) 0,050

Based on the table above, the index has a strong, positive, and significant
correlation. It indicates that youth development index using factor analysis in
south Kalimantan are strong and sensitive enough to capture the youth
development in South Kalimantan.

Classification of Youth in South Kalimantan, 2018
Classification of youth in South Kalimantan based on the youth
development index is made to simplify the analysis. By far, there is no fixed
method for classifying youth based on their development, but this research
