The National Youth Survey (NYS) is NYC's flagship survey that looks into the major concerns and issues of schooling and working youths in Singapore. A significant milestone in Singapore's youth research, the NYS adopts resource-based approach and focuses on the support youths require for societal engagement (i.e., social capital) and individual development (i.e., human capital). To date, the time-series study has been conducted in 2002, 2005, 2010, 2013, 2016 and 2019.
