Gen Zs less hardy than their parents, regional survey finds

No wonder older folks often describe this group of youngsters as the strawberry generation because they are emotionally sensitive and “bruise easily” when faced with stress or pressure.

Gen Zs place less importance on money matters, especially when it comes to traditions and social norms.

For instance, 63 per cent of older folks would frown upon adults who do not support their elderly parents and would describe such people as “ungrateful”. But almost the same proportion of Gen Zs (61 per cent) would think that it is not compulsory for children to support their parents since they have their own financial obligations to bear.

Gen Zs think that success in life need not be related to money, but about half of those in the older age groups still believe that wealth is important in determining a person’s worth.

some young people in Asian communities have the unhealthy habit of not working because they prefer to live off their parents......these kids think this way because their parents plan for them, including buying properties for them.

it is definitely not fair to pan the whole group of Gen Zs as “strawberries”, because those who are less resilient are probably so due to their overcaring parents.

For issues related to youth.....
