Unravelling Singaporeans’ Major Concerns in 2024
Our recent survey conducted in December 2024 reveals economic instability, unemployment, health crises and climate change as top concerns for Singaporeans. What do these challenges mean for Singaporeans?
The Economic Instability of 2024
The year 2024 has been marked by significant economic turbulence, and Singaporeans have not been immune to its effects. Our survey revealed a striking statistic: 47.9% of respondents identified economic instability as the most significant crisis of the year.
Unemployment Woes in a Changing Economy
The high level of concern about unemployment is closely linked to the broader issue of economic instability, with 29.4% of respondents identifying it as their top worry.
How Health Crises Shape Singapore’s Social Landscape
Health crises rank as the third most significant concern, with 28.6% of respondents expressing their concern. The after effects of a global pandemic has undoubtedly influenced this perception, highlighting the vulnerability of even the most prepared nations to widespread health emergencies.
Climate Change Impacts: A Rising Tide of Concern
Impacts of climate change rank as another significant concern, with 28.0% of respondents citing it as a major worry. For a low-lying island nation like Singapore, rising sea levels and extreme weather poses real risks to national security and daily life.
