The study showed that 43 percent of Gen Z Filipinos are expecting a much better future and 42 percent are anticipating a better life in the next five years. This is slightly higher than the combined optimism rate of millennial Filipinos at 84 percent.

Covering 2,700 Gen Z and millennials across six Southeast Asian countries, including 453 respondents from the Philippines, the study seeks to provide insights in developing policies and initiatives to address current needs and drive long-term growth.
