There are often many assumptions made about young people aged 15 to 21, but only a few can be proved with hard evidence. Now, new research has been published to help people get a better idea of these misunderstood young people.
According to an international survey in 2016, young people in emerging economies like China and India have a greater sense of hope about the future, compared with those living in Europe, North America and Australia.
The survey was carried out between September and October by the Varkey Foundation, a UK-based non-profit organization. It surveyed 20,000 young people who were born between 1995 to 2001 in 20 countries. They were asked questions about their hopes, ambitions, personal views and community values.
It was found that 53 percent of those questioned in China thought the world was becoming a better place – the highest percentage among the countries surveyed. Some 93 percent of them also felt hopeful for the future because of advances in technology, such as in medicine, renewable energy and computing. Indian youth were the second most optimistic, with 49 percent taking a positive view of the world’s prospects.
As for young people in China, what they fear most is the impact of climate change – some 82 percent of those who responded to the survey said so. Vikas Pota, chief executive of the Varkey Foundation, said it was encouraging that young people in China were aware how serious the problem of climate change is.
“This is surely a hopeful development. The young population of China is more aware than anyone of the seriousness of the climate crisis – and will be pressing for change,” he told South China Morning Post. The overall survey showed a sense of optimism in the attitudes and opinions of the generation that is likely to shape the next few decades, according to Pota.
“They are more likely to travel, to migrate across borders and to build friendships in other countries than any previous generation,” he said. “Global citizenship is not dead. It could just be getting started.”
