SESSION 1

14 NOVEMBER 2022, 2PM

Inflation has hit every segment of society hard but it seems that youths in particular are having a tough time grappling with it. The TODAY Youth Survey 2022 found one in three youths citing cost of living as their main source of mental health struggle. Apart from cost of living, many youths say work and parents are also affecting their mental well-being. How can youths better manage their anxieties including those caused by financial challenges? Is there adequate support at work and in the community now that there is greater awareness of mental health issues?

 

SESSION 2

14 NOVEMBER 2022, 3.30PM

The TODAY Youth Survey 2022 shows that many youths feel the repeal of the Penal Code’s Section 377A, which criminalises sex between men, is a step towards a more inclusive society that helps to reduce discrimination against the LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer) community. However, the debate over LGBTQ issues is unlikely to simmer down with society remaining divided on related issues such as same-sex marriages. What is the way forward for society to manage the different viewpoints?

SESSION 4 

15 NOVEMBER 2022, 3.30PM 

With the country’s fourth generation leadership set to take over the running of Singapore, many youths say that they want to see their political leaders being more willing to accept different points of views, based on the findings of the latest TODAY Youth Survey 2022. At the same time, a large majority of young people believe that meritocracy still works in Singapore and those who do well in life ought to give back to society by paying higher taxes. As Singapore undergoes a leadership transition, what are the youths’ expectations of their political leaders and what is the role that they themselves can play in shaping the kind of society they want?
