What are the challenges of today’s youth?
The challenges faced by our youths today are unique and multifaceted. In a fast-paced country like Singapore, with technology, smaller families and higher academic pressure, our youth have a growing sense of disconnection. This can lead to social withdrawal, which undermines their growth and development, causing them to develop mental health issues.
Additionally, many struggle with economic uncertainty, finding it difficult to secure stable employment and housing, which is exacerbated by student debt and economic fluctuations. Inequities in access to quality education and resources can significantly affect opportunities and outcomes.
