This study aims to identify efforts to improve the effectiveness of youth policies in Grobogan Regency in facing global challenges. The study shows a significant evolution in the approach to youth policy-making between 2020 and 2024, marked by a shift from a paternalistic model to an active participation and partnership model. The analysis of best practices reveals trends in youth policy formulation and implementation with integrated, participatory, and technologically advanced strategies. The success of these practices is characterized by effective cross-sector collaboration, active youth involvement in decision-making processes, and extensive use of digital platforms. Using Grobogan Regency as an example, the study identifies key issues in youth policy implementation, including inadequate youth involvement in decision-making processes, mismatches between education programs and labor market requirements, and social disparities between youth living in rural and urban areas. This study uses comparative analysis, legislative evaluation, and institutional review. The research findings indicate the need for a comprehensive approach to improve the effectiveness of youth policies, including strengthening interagency collaboration, increasing opportunities for active youth participation, developing digital platforms, and improving mechanisms to support youth entrepreneurship. A key element in improving effectiveness is the development and implementation of a comprehensive system to assess the effectiveness of youth policies, based on clear indicators and regular monitoring such as the calculation of the Youth Development Index (Indeks Pembangunan Pemuda/IPP) which has been carried out at the national and Central Java Provinci levels.
