What are your priorities in life? 

Well, around three in five youths in Singapore are satisfied with their lives, with a majority of them prioritising their careers and financial security over goals like getting married.

That’s according to Singapore’s first longitudinal study on young people, titled Youth Study on Transitions and Evolving Pathways in Singapore (Youth Steps) - a collaboration between the National Youth Council (NYC) and the Institute of Policy Studies (IPS) Social Lab at the National University of Singapore. 

Youth Steps followed more than 3,000 Singaporeans aged between 17 and 24 from 2017 to 2022, exploring their life satisfaction, key aspirations and priorities as they moved from adolescence to adulthood.

On this episode of Morning Shot, one of the principal investigators of the first tranche of Youth STEPS, Dr Chew Han Ei, Adjunct Senior Research Fellow, Institute of Policy Studies shares insights on the study.

Mind Your Business: How can a smaller grocery brand compete with the giants while upholding quality and sustainability?

By 2030, about one in four citizens in Singapore will be aged 65 and above. The rising burden of caregiving is coming into focus, with the little red dot’s population rapidly ageing.

Just recently, Singapore’s labour movement committed a total of $5.4 million over the next three years to support lower-income union members with caregiving responsibilities at home.

The role of informal caregivers too, is set to become even more critical. According to a recent study by the Centre for Ageing Research and Education, despite the significant time commitment, the monetary value of informal caregiving is often overlooked in eldercare cost estimates, with most studies focusing only on direct healthcare costs.

On this episode of Morning Shot, Associate Professor Rahul Malhotra, Deputy Director of the Centre for Ageing Research and Education at Duke-NUS Medical School shares his insights.
