Singapore has launched the 'SG Youth Plan,' a national initiative aiming to engage over half a million youths over the next five years. The plan focuses on addressing youth concerns and aspirations through feedback-driven policy development.
Why it matters
This initiative demonstrates a proactive government approach to social development and youth engagement in policy-making.
The national plan for youth development is a “living plan” that will constantly evolve to respond to changing needs and anxieties of youths in the coming years, said Acting Minister for Culture, Community and Youth David Neo.
