S'pore youth among busiest in Asia: Survey
IN 24 hours, Singapore youth cram in 42 hours' worth of activities by multi-tasking.
This is four hours above the regional average of 38 hours, and three hours more than the previous year's figure, revealed a survey by market research company Synovate. The places with even busier youth were South Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
On average, Singapore youth spend 13 hours of each day engaged by the media - watching television, going online and reading newspapers, among other things.
Among the top Internet activities here are listening to music, e-mailing and playing online games alone. Leisure activities include sports, listening to music and shopping.
But despite their busy schedules, not all Singapore youth rate themselves highly on the happiness meter. Only 73 per cent said they were 'quite happy' or 'very happy', while Hong Kong managed only 65 per cent and Japan, 55 per cent.
It was youth from developing countries such as Indonesia (84 per cent) and the Philippines (89 per cent) who came out happiest in the survey. Indian youth, who fit only 29 hours of activity into a day, seemed happiest, with 97 per cent recording a high level of happiness.
