Youth Study on Transitions and Evolving Pathways in Singapore (Youth STEPS 2.0)

Synopsis:

This research study is the first national long-term research conducted on youth in Singapore. It is a collaboration between the National Youth Council (NYC) and the Institute of Policy Studies (IPS) Social Lab at the National University of Singapore.

The second phase of the study aims to investigate late youthhood development and transitions in Singapore. It involves survey panellists who have been tracked over six years, from 2017 to 2022, as well as new panellists who will be recruited in 2024. The participants will be asked about their life aspirations, quality of relationships, personal values and attitudes, as well as achievements and well-being. The findings aim to help policymakers formulate more relevant youth policies and programmes for Singapore.

This second phase will track panellists over a period of five years (5 waves) from 2024 to 2028.
