Our recent survey of 2,000 Singapore youths and 68,000 young people in ASEAN illustrates some of the seismic transformations which are starting to take shape in Singapore and beyond.

We highlight three key findings from our report (also summarised in our infographic attached below).

First, Singapore youths adapted to the challenges brought about by COVID-19 by significantly raising their adoption of digital tools during the pandemic.

Second, with digitalisation as the key enabler, COVID-19 has reshuffled the decks, while catalysing significant and lasting changes, across businesses, workers, students, and consumers.

Third, COVID-19 has also exposed vulnerable segments in Singapore’s society, in particular among students, educators, and those in the gig economy and food and accommodation sectors.
