When he was young, only between 3 per cent and 4 per cent of his generation went to universities, ...Now, between 40 per cent and 50 per cent of Singaporeans go on to one of the six autonomous universities here, and practically all of them have the opportunity to go on an externship or overseas attachment somewhere

The youth of today also have access to technology which allows them to connect to the world, be more productive and take on “all kinds of jobs which my generation never heard of...

What the current generations will not experience, though, is the journey from Third World to First, and the attending rapid improvements that allowed previous generations to pursue constant upgrading of homes and other material possessions

there is not a lot of space to “decompress” in Singapore, which is mostly developed. But ... Singaporeans can travel to neighbouring countries which are not very far away

Qn: 'The youth of today have a much better life than all the generations before.' Do you agree?
