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.
