Abstract

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic affects various aspects such as physical health, mental health, social and economic factors. Youth are among those affected by the Covid-19 pandemic and experiencing pressure due to the pandemic. In fulfilling social welfare during a pandemic, the skills possessed by young people are quickly adapting to online technology. The purpose of this study is to identify efforts to build youth resilience in an effort to improve social welfare during a pandemic. This research is a qualitative study using data obtained from the focus group discussion (FGD). Stakeholders in this study consisted of NGOs, telecommunication provider companies, representatives from the mass media, consulting agencies. Youth are sometimes known as lazy people, have weak stress coping skills and lack of self-control, but there is a lot of creativity. Efforts to build youth resilience in improving social welfare during a pandemic include making a creation on social media, working according to their expertise (such as being a journalist, reporter, photographer, and others), creating interesting and useful applications, and providing a platform for young people's new business namely digital games or e-sports. In addition, there is also a forum to foster youth creativity by improving life skills. Youths need to be directed to reach their maximum potential by making online technology a means of resilience to improve their social welfare in the pandemic era.
