A survey by the Rabbit Group he heard 28 thousand families with children in private schools in Brazil It is suggests a lower social engagement of children and adolescents. The survey was answered by parents and guardiansor students of Kindergarten and Elementary School I, and by the students of Middle School Elementary II and High School.
The search wanted onlyTheto see how these young people from generation Z imagined themselves at 40 years old.
The three priorities did not vary between groups, except“Quality of life and physical and mental well-being”, “have ppassion for what you do” It is “Compensation and financial peace of mind”.
Priorities began to fluctuate in the assessment of “Contributing to a better Brazil”. OParents listed this issue as the fourth priority, but Elementary School II students placed their contribution to the country in seventh place, while the Dthe high school only ninth.
The item “Caring for or improving the lives of others” also occupied a lower place in the priority rankings dthe interviewees.
“There is a lot of pressure on young people to achieve their social and economic goals, such as getting into a good college, having a good job and material goods. This makes them end up thinking in themselves”, evaluated to CNN Radio the CEO of the Rabbit Group, Christian Coelho. “We imagined that it was a generation that had more empathy, but we do not blame young people, but social and economic pressure, especially in a time of crisis and post-pandemic.”
Another negative surprise for the survey organizers was the reduction in the social interaction of children and adolescents. The survey points out that 47% of elementary and high school students spend time on social networks communicating, while the majority, 53%, tIt ism behavior just passive.
“they stay aloneoh seeing and listeningand the interaction falls short of the social needs of young people”, says Christian Coelho. “Social interaction has a significant impactfictive in mental health. Studies show that those who have difficulty relating tend to have higher levels of stress, anxietydepression and aggression.”
The survey also confirms that children and adolescents spend more time in front of screens than recommended by the Brazilian Society of Pediatrics. Christian Coelho suggests that schools transmit activities to parents as well, in order to promote greater interaction with children.
