ASEAN digital generation survey report

 Hello all. Hope you had a very relaxing long weekend ka. 

I had a chance to watch a vdo clip (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44EtvVvtXUY), discussing the ASEAN Digital Generation Report: Pathway to ASEAN’s inclusive digital transformation and recovery, presented by Dr. Santitarn Sathirathai (Dr. Surakiat's son who's working at Shopee, Singapore). 

The survey involved 85,908 people from six ASEAN countries (Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam), predominantly from the youth
(77%), aged between 16 and 35. You'd be able to tell right away why I was highly interested in this report na ka...the survey included our country and the younger gen lae ka.

You can read the full Insight Report, October, 2021 if you wish to pursue further na ka. 

Here are the key takeaways I wish to share ka:

1. Most believe the covid 19 will stay on with severe impacts, both economically and mentally. For mental health, more women are believed to be affected than men ka.

2. It would be a 'markedly' different world after the pandemic. 

3. I feel better to see that many ASEANers showed clear signs of adaptation and a significant transfer of skills relating to broadening digital inclusion.

4. MSME entrepreneurs in particular, recognized that digitalization is needed for economic recovery. "Those who were “more digitalized” tended to be more economically resilient during the pandemic."

5. Digitalization has a “flywheel effect” (I had to google to get it ka....need the momentum to make it move on its own). This means life will be more and more digitalized ka.  

6. There is a high demand to further digitalize finance, especially among MSMEs.

7. We still see access to digital infrastructure and digital devices the largest barriers to further digital adoption in our region ka..

8. We need to step up efforts for the reskilling and upskilling of the ASEAN workforce.

It could seem to some that we've known several of the findings. Yet, one big question is, 'how far have we been alarmed to the point that we could seriously create disruption in our circles one way or another?'

I also think the older gens sure have much more to learn and keep up if we are to be helpful to our younger gens na ka.
