Tech addiction exacerbates young people’s mental health problems

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 5 September 2023 – AXA Hong Kong and Macau (“AXA”) today released the second phase of the annual AXA Study of Mind Health and Wellbeing 2023 (“the Study”), which assessed the state of mind health[1] across the globe. The Study revealed that the Gen Z group (aged 18 to 26 years old) in Hong Kong have lower overall mind health as only one in ten respondents stated that they are flourishing, compared to one in five for the overall respondents. 67.2% of the Gen Z respondents also reported experiencing moderate to extreme stress levels over the last year, which is 14% higher compared to the overall respondents (53.1%).

Loneliness and body image issues made worse by tech addiction

While there are multiple factors contributing to poorer mind health among Gen Z, 64% of Gen Z individuals in Hong Kong stated that technology addiction and obsessive social media have exacerbated the issue.

Indeed, among the Gen Z respondents impacted by social media and technology addiction, 71% reported that they feel lonely and 80% said they struggle with negative body image issues (versus 43% and 51%, respectively, of the overall Gen Z respondents not affected by addiction), while only 5% considered themselves to be flourishing, which is half of the overall percentage among the age group.

Always-on culture: a detriment to wellbeing and productivity

These addiction issues have also spilled over into the workplace, as the increasing prevalence of remote working has perpetuated the “always-on” culture in the post-pandemic world. 44% of the employed Gen Z respondents said they find it difficult to separate their work from their personal life, while 40% reported that the hours they are expected to work causes them distress. This highlights the increasingly blurred boundaries between work and personal life, which could be detrimental to Gen Z’s wellbeing and productivity.

Andrea Wong, Chief Marketing and Customer Officer, AXA Hong Kong and Macau said, “The findings of the AXA Mind Health Study underscore the need to enhance the overall wellbeing of Gen Z individuals in Hong Kong. While this group is more vulnerable to stress and can experience negative emotions in a tech-saturated world, there are steps that young people can take to improve their mind health, including setting technology boundaries, improving time management, creating a healthy work-life balance, as well as spending quality time with families and friends. Furthermore, as an advocate for holistic wellness, AXA was one of the first employers to introduce a series of employee wellness programmes, including mental health care support, hybrid work arrangements, skill and job matching, and skill development support, all of which enables employees to strike a better work-life balance and have a more positive outlook in the workplace.”

Aspiring to achieve financial prosperity, yet weighed down by uncertainty

The Study revealed that financial prosperity is a top priority among the younger generation in Hong Kong. When asked about their one “big wish,” 38% of the city’s Gen Z individuals said they aspire to “become rich” and only 18% of Gen Z in Hong Kong see achieving perfect physical health as their biggest wish, compared to 34% among the general population.

However, 44% of Gen Z respondents reported that their current financial situation causes them significant stress, and only 30% said they feel secure about their financial future, which indicates that financial uncertainty is a major source of stress. As this group of people is still at an early stage of their career, hence they are advised to start financial planning early on so they can reap the benefits of a more stable and secured financial future.

As the pioneer insurer to promote holistic wellness, AXA has launched a series of initiatives in Hong Kong, including the annual AXA BetterMe event, as well as the Mind Charger services on the “Emma by AXA” mobile app, which helps customers and the community to build healthy lifestyles and practice mindfulness. By addressing the challenges faced by Gen Z head-on, AXA will continue to support the younger generation thrive both personally and professionally.

Study of Mind Health and Wellbeing (AXA Mind Health Study)

AXA Mind Health Study is an annual study of mind health and wellbeing to assess the current state of mind health across the globe, and to provide individuals and businesses with the insights and advice needed to foster positive mind health.

AXA Mind Health Study 2023 was conducted in collaboration with IPSOS between September and October 2022 by means of online survey and online interviews among a total of 30,000 respondents aged between 18 to 74 years old across 16 European, American and Asian regions, namely France, the UK, Germany, Spain, Italy, Ireland, Belgium, Switzerland, Turkey, US, Mexico, mainland China and Hong Kong, Japan, Thailand and Philippines.

• The Incheon Gateway is the largest DHL Express investment in South Korea
• The new Gateway is now more than triple the size of its predecessor, and can handle 3.5 times more cargo
• It features digitalized and automated systems that reduces the delivery time of imported goods by more than 30 minutes
• Incheon Gateway will be key to handling continuously growing import, export, and transit cargo, as well as e-commerce shipments

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA – Media OutReach – 5 September 2023 – DHL Express, the world’s leading international express service provider, has commenced the full-fledged operation of Incheon Gateway after it invested €131 million (KRW 175 billion) to expand the Gateway in 2019. The investment is DHL Express’s largest in South Korea to date, making Incheon Gateway the largest gateway in the Asia Pacific.

The expansion aims to address the increasing air cargo demand at the Gateway, as a result of growing overseas trade in South Korea and increase in international express import and export with Asia-Pacific countries, including Singapore, Japan, China, Australia, and Taiwan.

Sean Wall, Executive Vice President of Network Operations and Aviation, Asia Pacific, DHL Express, was present to commemorate the opening of the new Incheon Gateway. He said, “We are handling more cargo in South Korea in recent years, and we expect the demand to continue on its upward trajectory. Between 2011 and now, the transit cargo handling volume we handled in the country grew more than threefold. The opening of the expanded Incheon Gateway arrives at a right time as it plays an important role to facilitate regional and intra-Asia trade, particularly for the Northeast Asian region, including Dalian, Qingdao, Wuxi, Ulaanbaatar, and Guam.”

The enhanced Incheon Gateway now boasts a gross floor area of 59,248 square meters – thrice the size of the previous Gateway at 19,946 square meters. The handling capacity is also boosted by over 3.5 times to reach 28,400 pieces per hour. The Gateway houses a 5.5 kilometers-long conveyor belt and 19 automated X-ray inspection machines to ensure shipment contents are safe and compliant. Moreover, Incheon Gateway is a pivotal logistics facility, connecting global DHL hubs and gateways through seven dedicated DHL aircraft and 40 aircraft from partner airlines. This can address the ever-growing transit shipment demand in the Northeast Asian region.

To process import and export shipments faster and more efficiently, the Incheon Gateway features a fully automated sorting and handling system. In particular, an automated document and small parcel sorter can efficiently process over 10,000 parcels an hour, significantly enhancing the handling speed and operations competency. As a result, more than 30 minutes of delivery time for imported goods is saved.

To minimize greenhouse gas emissions, the facility is partly powered by solar energy. A 1-megawatt solar power generator is installed – spanning the entire rooftop area (5,700 square meters) of the Gateway. The solar generator can produce energy that covers roughly 30% of the facility’s consumed energy, thus reducing around 650 tons of carbon emissions annually. This marks the first instance among cargo terminals within Incheon International Airport to use solar energy.

ByungKoo Han, Country Manager of DHL Express Korea, said, “The Incheon Gateway serves as a strategic facility that connects South Korea and the Asia Pacific region to the world. Since its initial opening in 2009, the handling volume of import and export at Incheon Gateway has increased by more than 90% in 2022. With this expansion, we are confident that we can adeptly manage the surge in shipment volume and cater to the increasing demand for international express delivery over the coming decade.”

South Korea is the world’s sixth largest e-commerce market. The larger Incheon Gateway will also now better support Korean cross-border e-commerce companies to grow in overseas markets.
