Research & Engagement
Youth engagement and research provide invaluable insights into prevailing government policies and social norms. We understand their lived realities and strive to empower and support youth to discover their full potential.
Youth Insights
The National Youth Council (NYC) Singapore provides a variety of resources on youth-related information to help sector partners better understand our youths in Singapore. Regular surveys, polls, and longitudinal studies on youth attitudes, sentiments, life goals, and career aspirations ensure we are attuned to the pulse of young Singaporeans.

Youth Engagements
Youths are our future, and we empower them by providing a dedicated space to address policy issues and promote civic participation.
The Youth Engagement team within NYC oversees programmes aimed at offering youths a safe space to voice their views, learn about different perspectives, and discuss concerns while sharing aspirations with their peers, civil society, and the Government.
Our Programmes
Through a series of offline and online engagements, youths are brought together from different backgrounds to hear from one another. By cultivating an openness to diverse views with a culture of understanding and consensus building, youth engagements set the motion for youths to play an important role in building a caring and cohesive Singapore.
