Singapore's 65 -year -old citizen will account for 21%of the general citizen's population in 2026.According to the definition of the United Nations, Singapore will enter the "super -aging society" from to the time of Singapore."Super aging" means that the average life expectancy of the Chinese people is prolonged, and the state must use more resources to welcome the arrival of this era.There is no doubt about the government's concern about this topic, but what do the younger generation think of the future social trends?We can't take care of this when dealing with aging social issues. What young people think, they are more happy (because this means that their future days are also long), or they are more worried than joy (because they must share heavier in the short period of medium in the short termSocial cost)?
Relatively speaking, the government's policies to deal with aging society are more likely to make people evaluate. Youth issues involve the desire and social values of the younger generation of individuals, and more importantly, their political orientation.
In the past few months, the agenda of youth issues has gradually surfaced, and it has moved inside and outside the Congress, but it does not seem to be in the sight of ordinary people.
The problem of aging, such as health care, old age, and dying, these are practical problems, can be seen and touched.But the problem of young people involves their thinking and values.In the future of international development, young people must have greater right to speak to satisfy their sense of decision -making participation. It is a greater challenge for the government. This is not only a problem that money can be solved.
Culture, society and youth ministries and the National Youth Council are exploring how to allow more young people to participate in policy discussions and formulation, and improve their proposal to the national level and platform for consideration.
The National Youth Council will expand the "Our Singapore Leadership Programme" to allow the middle and fourth living to participate in order to develop their leadership potential outside the classroom, deepen their understanding of national subjects, and pass with each other.Parents with different backgrounds interact to expand their vision and soft skills.
The National Youth Council and government agencies will set up a youth working group in this year, led by young people to let them discuss the topic of resonance with most young people.
The National Youth Council held the sixth national youth dialogue on May 24, and a total of 91 young people attended and participated in the discussion.In cooperation with the "Singapore to advance" campaign, the official hopes to provide more opportunities to let young people participate in the joint formulation of policies.Tang Zhenhui, the Minister of Culture, Community and Youth and the Second Minister of the Ministry of Justice, said that the official establishment of a youth group, through information sharing and in -depth discussions, allows young people to understand the complexity of the formulation of policies and provide suggestions for the future of Singapore.
According to the survey of the National Youth Council, with the recovery of Singapore from the crown disease epidemic, the topic of continuous attention of young people includes living costs, employment and economy, psychological health, scientific and technological development, social tolerance, racial harmony, sustainable environment for environmentwait.
The key is to what extent can the government share information with young participants?
In the 1980s, the government cared about the 4C desires of the younger generation, including car, credit cards, clubs, and apartments.These are material desires.The expectations of young people today are both concerned about living expenses and more intangible demands.
Young people focus on personal, especially the opportunity to work.This reflects the resources invested by Singapore, especially in education to support different development channels, skills and aspirations.Singapore also plans to continue to strengthen the system.
Whether the younger generation will pay too much attention to personal interests, and forgot to the background of the international trend, the country's survival and development issues are forgotten."Not a family does not know Chai Mi Gui." The government wants youth to participate in the decision -making process. The purpose may be that young people understand that governing the country is a complex project and how to balance social and political considerations.
The most contributed to youth to the country's future should be to boost the population replacement rate. Young people talk about decision -making, care for living expenses, housing demand, scientific and technological development, psychological health, etc.It may be reduced to "empty talk about the country".In many aspects, the government can propose the preparation plan. Only the younger generation is encouraged to maintain the orthodox marriage concept.On the way to our way.Vice Premier and Minister of Economic Policy Wang Ruijie said in Congress a month ago: "The World Bank lists Singapore as the best place to support children to play potential." Young people can verify whether the World Bank is overly raised our growth based on personal experience.And development environment.
Faced with the problem of human resources and talent shortages, Wang Ruijie repeatedly confirmed that Singapore passed the education system to cultivate young people to prepare for future changes and seize opportunities with confidence.Wang Ruijie pointed out that one of the ways is to cultivate "Asia-Capable" and enable students to have the ability to establish contacts in the growing vast market in Asia.
The future hope of Singapore is in Asia, a strategic place in Asia, and the younger generation has certain advantages to become "Asia"; however, for the so -called "Asian pass", political leaders may be able to use the youth dialogue forumAdd more.For Singaporeans who use English as the first language, you must not just look near, learn Chinese and Malay, and start from concerned about neighboring countries.
To solve the various social problems brought by the country's "super -aging", the government rely on the younger generation, otherwise the problem today will continue to bother the future government and the future generation.After sorting out a list of expectations of young people after participating in the dialogue, and publishing the white paper in the dignitaries, it can indicate that the government attaches importance to their thinking, but the marriage of young people is a national event.
