The vast majority of people polled aged 15 to 64 agree that it is their responsibility to take care of their parents.Families in Singapore maintain close-knit ties, and are the first line of support for most people, a new survey has shown.
The survey - the first of its kind in Singapore - aimed to understand how resilient families are. This is defined as the ability of families to adapt to challenges, bounce back from adversity and manage stressful events. This is the first time MSF has conducted a large-scale survey using the Walsh Family Resilience Questionnaire. The resilience scale has been used internationally to understand how people perceive family ties and social issues.
Almost 86 per cent of families reported a moderate to high score for family resilience, which means they would generally be able to recover from challenges together. Married people were also more likely to have a close-knit family, compared to those who were single, the survey found.
