The Z Zurich Foundation’s White Paper, released on May 22, 2025, in Kuala Lumpur, emphasizes the urgent need to invest in youth mental wellbeing in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, home to over 750 million young people aged 15-24. It highlights that nearly half of mental health issues start by age 14, with suicide being a leading cause of death among 15-29-year-olds in many APAC countries.
The report underscores the high human and economic costs of inaction, noting that mental health conditions often begin early and can affect education, employment, and relationships into adulthood. Despite this, mental health receives less than 1% of health budgets in many APAC countries.
