Telenor Group released on Monday the findings of its regional online survey that assessed the attitudes of Asia’s millennials towards technology and social impact, as well as the support they feel necessary to become future leaders committed to peace.
Organised to support Telenor Youth Forum 2017 recruitment, the online survey engaged 2,500 respondents aged 15 to 30 years in Asian markets including Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, Myanmar, Malaysia and Thailand.

Youths in all the surveyed markets ranked education as the most critical form of support in order to enable them to become tomorrow’s peace leaders.
The multi-market online survey found that Pakistan’s millennials are most passionate for providing education opportunities for children, followed by unemployment among youth.
Other global issues that Pakistani millennials are driven to resolve include climate change and global warming, the stigma surrounding mental health issues and gender inequality.

Resolving many of the same issues is also a year-long mission of Telenor Youth Forum delegates, whose tech-driven proposals were funded for research and prototyping at a pitching session held in Bangkok last month.
When asked about the technology that has the largest potential to give rise to peace, 34 per cent of Pakistan’s respondents placed their bets on artificial intelligence, followed by the Internet of Things and virtual reality. Across all six markets, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things and virtual reality rank consistently in the top three – suggesting the vast potential seen in these future technologies by the Internet generation.
