PETALING JAYA: South-East Asian youths have shown “extraordinary resilience and adaptability” to social and economic disruptions of Covid-19, with many taking the opportunity for personal growth, says a new regional study.

The 2020 Asean Youth Survey, by the World Economic Forum in partnership with Sea Insights – a research and public policy unit under Sea, a global consumer Internet company – found that while facing the challenges of Covid-19 and its consequent lockdowns, South-East Asian youth as a whole demonstrated personal strength and remarkable ability to adapt to the new normal.
