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?

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?

Younger workers have been dubbed “the restless generation” as employers find it increasingly hard to retain this group by meeting their expectations. The attitudes of millennial and Gen Z workers have emerged as an employer’s bugbear in recent years, with words such as “entitled”, “picky” and “watch-the-clock” being bandied around to describe the younger generations' approach to work. Youths, on the other hand, reject such characterisations. So what is it that drives youths at work and what are they looking for at the workplace?
