Last November, the World Health Organisation declared loneliness a ‘Global Public Health Concern’. Meanwhile, Gen Zs are emerging as the loneliest generation ever. Filipino youths are the loneliest in Southeast Asia. About 6 in 10 Filipinos say they are lonely, more than double the global average, and much higher than neighbouring countries in ASEAN.
For a country known for their friendliness, why do young Filipinos struggle with social alienation? From the stigma around mental health, to the overuse of social media, to poverty, Insight explores why young pinoys feel increasingly alone.
去年11月,世界卫生组织将孤独宣告为“全球公共卫生问题”。与此同时,Z世代正逐渐成为有史以来最孤独的一代。菲律宾的年轻人是东南亚最孤独的群体。大约六成菲律宾人表示自己感到孤独,这一比例是全球平均水平的两倍多,且远高于东盟的其他邻国。
在一个以友善著称的国家,为什么年轻的菲律宾人却在与社会疏离感斗争?从心理健康的污名化,到社交媒体的过度使用,再到贫困问题,《Insight》深入探讨了菲律宾年轻人为何越来越感到孤独。
