From ladder to maze: S’pore youth are facing less predictable paths to adulthood, says panel

The article discusses the challenges faced by young Singaporeans in navigating an increasingly complex and uncertain path to adulthood. During a roundtable discussion organized by The Straits Times, panellists highlighted issues such as career anxiety, lack of engagement at work, and difficulties in adapting to a dynamic workforce.

Experts emphasized the need for greater confidence in contributing to society and adapting to ambiguity, suggesting that traditional education systems may not adequately prepare individuals for modern professional environments. The conversation took place alongside the launch of the SG Youth Plan, a five-year initiative aimed at supporting youth development.
