The Modern Filipino Family:

Exploring family dynamics and digitalization in the new normal

The Modern Filipino Family:

 

Manulife's latest study titled, "The Modern Filipino Family: Exploring family dynamics and digitalization amid the new normal," aims to understand how digitalization impacts relationships and family life, while learning to live with COVID-19. Have Filipinos settled in new routines and behaviors brought by a hyper-digitalized world? How has modern technology affected relationships and social interactions? 

The study found that Filipino parents and children across generations have found different ways to cope with the digitalization of everyday life. While remaining engaged with each other, their attitudes have shifted. Weighing in both the positive and negative effects of a digital-by-default lifestyle, they also developed a stronger desire to pursue new passions, live a healthier life, secure life protection, and achieve financial freedom.
