The Role of Technology in Safeguarding Youth

Are we going backwards? The Regression Generation is a new label given to Gen Z and Alphas who are coming of age while regressing in society in terms of social and educational skills. Unlike previous generations, they are battling crises of confidence, education, and finances as a result of the pandemic, geopolitical tensions and an increasingly online world.

Carla Buzasi, CEO of WGSN discusses with Elizabeth Tan, WGSN’s Senior Culture Strategist about the challenges they face, including loneliness, anxiety and social skills in real life, as well as the potential for positive change through community-building. Join us as we explore online and offline strategies to support these generations through emotional and social connections to mature and thrive in our dynamic world.
