Youths reveal 3 areas where they want the government to invest in

Over half of Gen Z are willing to accept short-term economic limitations for these investments.

Sixty-seven per cent of Singaporeans aged 18 to 26 want the government to invest in a longer-term strategy that promotes more sustainable growth, even if it means short-term economic limitations such as lower gross domestic product (GDP) growth.

According to a survey by Dell Technologies, Gen Z Singaporeans specifically want the government to prioritise investments that enable a circular economy (41%), sustainable energy (36%), and smart cities (34%).

Some Gen Z (23%) also want greater sustainability education for citizens.

More than half of Gen Z in Singapore (56%) are confident that public sector recovery investments will deliver a flourishing economy within 10 years.

“Gen Z will arguably be the most impacted by public and private investment decisions taken today and will facilitate and maintain long-term, sustainable recovery. There is an opportunity to earn the support of Gen Z for longer-term strategies that put sustainability at the core of
economic growth strategies,” Andy Sim, vice president and managing director, Singapore, Dell Technologies, said.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
