Youth Importance? I've never seen such thing both in the fmrte and in-game editor.
That setting in the table under Club>Facilities>Youth Importance: you won't see this normally in game as far I'm aware, its done in the pre-game editor and loaded as a fmf file during game creation to take effect. A single address does not affect how youth importance works; there are other factors, including your facilities, the nation's youth rating, club culture, chairman status, head of youth development, etc.
It would take someone with seasoned experience creating large databases to explain this fully and likely outside the scope of this thread. Using golden generation to make youth come through of a set CA/PA is better for your club as it just about guarantees a certain threshold you've set will be achieved.
Youth Importance isn't new either, as an SI said: "It's been there for a while. Yes, it is in how high a regard they hold youth development, so will influence their decisions regarding philosophies, facilities, youth recruitment, etc."
