Young people are less likely to accept traditional employments in this era!

[Stablexcoin]

The ways of earning and living for young people have changed drastically since we moved from the agriculture(field) era to the technological( Internet money) era. Many young people are willing to sit at home waiting for a freelance job rather than going out to work for someone and getting paid little shillings. Research has proven that the rate at which people quit working in traditional industries has increased, perhaps they have found an online skill or a way to offer their services with high flexibility.

The concern is very alarming this is because if limited young ones are willing to work in these traditional structures (Oil, Agriculture, manufacturing, etc.) how will they grow? The Gen Z workers (that is people born between 1997 - 2012) were the first to prioritize flexibility, personal well-being, and as well as intelligent usage. Of course, the internet money is way higher than low-paying jobs in those sectors, they can either choose to start their own social media accounts that would endorse them or pursue freelance work rather than entering the traditional workforce.

So if there is a way to create balance and bring more young people to have interest in the traditional workforce what would you think of? I was thinking that increasing minimum wages and granting more benefits like health, rent to mention a few would help

Even though technology looks promising than other sectors, you need to know if we're currently suffering tech winter.

I don't believe most Gen Z are freelancers than working on sites, even the jobs can be done from away, but most of companies will ask them to work on sites because they don't want the market value of their buildings loss due to low traffic.

So if there is a way to create balance and bring more young people to have interest in the traditional workforce what would you think of?

Erase seniority! both Boomers and Millennials make Gen Z has no place to get promoted or they receive the same salary but bear more responsibility.

[Coin_trader]

Freelance is least of your concern if being an influencer and content creator on social media becomes the main job in the future. Which is what dominates in my country.

Young generation even newly grads only focus on creating garbage content, streaming games and other dance videos that makes them not interested anymore on finding a decent job since they are earning good from social media views. Young generation here spend a lot of time browsing contents on social media and create their own content that’s why we contributes a lot of views and engagement on social media which is alarming to the business sector due to lack of professional and workers in the future. 

Those ads financer on social media usually paying for views of kids that doesn’t even know the product they are advertising.

You are really correct on this, in this current generation, younger people find it difficult to maintain a 9am to 5pm job, because they don't have passion for it,  they are mostly doing it like they don't have a choice, since it's the only means of survival at present, they mostly took it as a job were you work like elephant and eat like ant,  because it's very difficult to obtain a higher paying job.

But with the advancement of technology worldwide, younger people have more passion in acquiring digital skill and and they prefer doing business online because it pays better than our traditional 9am to 5pm job, though it's has it own advantage, but the major disadvantage of young people abandoning agriculture is that who will feed the state, if everyone no longer have interest in it? And it will definitely be a major problem to the government of the state if the agricultural sector is being abandoned.

So to me, the best that can be done about this is for the government to make the 9am to 5pm job and working for the agricultural sector to be more attractive to the upcoming generations, so as to strike a balance between agricultural sector and technological sector of the economy.

The young generation (Gen Z) wants to become rich and wealthy, so being an employee in a traditional organization will not make them as rich as they wanted. That is why all of them engage in online making, which includes social media accounts, trading bitcoin and other alt-coins, and other online sources of making money that do not require a lot of stress and get more money, which the millennials and Gen X view as a lazy generation.
 
But what is supposed to be put into consideration is that in this generation, everything has become a technology base, which will soon be a threat to the traditional workers because with technology, everything will be easy and employment will be scarce, so to me, it is better for Gen Z to focus on ways to make money online than to depend on traditional employment because of the threat associated with it.

[electronicash]

paying memecoins to those who will help cultivate a rise farm. will probably make them come running to sign up and work to farm a land. they are so fond of posting photos of likes, working on rice fields and memecoins to show to their IG will definitely get them more likes which will motivate the GenZ.

the newer generations wants to work while having fun though, its what was being fed to them by a philosopher saying work where your heart is. so maybe allowing the younger generations to watch youtube shorts while in the assembly lines will motivate them to go outside and find this kind of employer.

[crwth]

I see this type of thing in the place where I work where the young people experience that kind of FOMO where if you work you lose the time to do and the opportunity to do something for yourself and then they just resign altogether. It's not that they don't want money, it's that they want to be in control and they can't handle that kind of criticism.

They just want it easy and not persevere.

yeah good luck with that maybe they will do it in 20 years but oh you will be the one losing seniority.

do your self a favor find the old movie “ wild in the streets “ watch it and realize how old your idea is.

The concern is very alarming this is because if limited young ones are willing to work in these traditional structures (Oil, Agriculture, manufacturing, etc.)

Some still have this view of agriculture as some hard manual labour stuff when in reality in every advanced country is getting more and more technical by the day.
The trend of having fewer people employed is because of technologies, you don't need to have people with horses in the field when you can have autonomous tractors plowing, you don't need to milk course by hand, you have drones to see your crops, you have an enormous amount of tools that can be controlled by a single individual that is doing the work of what 100 did at the start of last century.




Just as there was no disaster when young ones were not forced to go hunting to earn a meal, not working for a steelworks or a farm won't be an issue now.

Making work time flexible will also attract more young people. A reason why young people are looking to freelance more is due to the flexibility in work hours and the value that their work is given, which is reflected in the attractive pay.

The young generation (Gen Z) wants to become rich and wealthy, so being an employee in a traditional organization will not make them as rich as they wanted.

The reason they know this is because they have seen the result and outcome from the years their parents have put in and still are not financially stable from being employees in the traditional system. They do not want to end up like their parents, who are not happy at work and do not still earn well.

 obviously it’s because sitting in your house is much more convenient and comfortable way to earn money rather than going out in the sun and getting your hands dirty.

Don’t get me wrong sometimes I think it’s also important to exert physical effort but the more you realize how hard it actually is, you might just quit right here and there.

People reject jobs because they have other options. The US has a super economy with diverse job opportunities available for people to choose from. Youths can easily diversify to other sectors if they are not comfortable with their present jobs. The country also has a good welfare system where the unemployed receive some level of assistance from the government.

I don't also think that the shortage of labor in traditional workplaces is a problem because machines are gradually performing some of the tasks of some workers making these sectors require limited physical workers. The IS also has a strategic plan of balancing worker shortages with seasonal or temporary workers.

This report is correct. Most young persons do not care about an organization. In fact if they get employed today and their bosses annoys them or they feel they are not happy at that place, the next day they will tender their resignation letter or just not show up to the office. Young people have seen that their parents struggled so much and that they money that their parents made during their 35 years of working, they can make it in a few years and retire before 30. And thanks to tech, they are fully exploiting it. Some young people are working remotely from the comfort of their hotel rooms or somewhere in Dubia. The term for it now is digital nomads. It is like they are waging a cold war against traditional employment. But is their mental health better than their parents? I don't think so.

You can't blame the generation that we have today, they are the product of what the standard the society has set and that is what they grew up to see. Imagine a musician that came from nothing actually become something with plenty of money than the money an engineer will ever make in his entire career. They feel relax and also want to try quick alternative to make money than go through the school system.

Another bad thing the society has allowed to exist is social comparison and inferiority complex. Children used to take engineers and medical doctors as role model back then but now, they just want to be like some baddies and gangsters who portray things on social media, learn from that to use that to oppress their friends or just to feel among their peers, the society has a lot to adjust my friend.

But what is supposed to be put into consideration is that in this generation, everything has become a technology base, which will soon be a threat to the traditional workers because with technology, everything will be easy and employment will be scarce, so to me, it is better for Gen Z to focus on ways to make money online than to depend on traditional employment because of the threat associated with it.

Technology has a lot of advantages than even the disadvantages but we chose that over the merits side. The society should be in better place because technology exists and not to be misuse. If technology has advanced well before now, we wouldn't have been in this messes the way we are right now.

You are 100% right, actually the world is moving toward modernization and technology. I read stats a few days ago that there are 20 apps that did not exist 20 years ago, I am finding it difficult to get a source but will provide it later. The main things were social media, which did not exist 20 years ago and now it did. Which has opened a lot of ways for not only GEN-Z but for millennials as well. Even Octagerian are also making money by freelancing.

In my opinion millennials are the ones who are taking most of benefit from current technologies because when we visit software houses we only see youngsters there, and we see less millinials there. Which indicates that these 50 to 55 years old dudes are finding another source of income and at the end they end up on LinkedIn with some good company.

Well, I say why we have to keep a balance, because not everyone is doing freelancing, all the five fingers are not equals, world's nature is based on diversity and it can't be changed. Its how world work we don't have to worry about it.

[dothebeats]

One thing I'm seeing is that these jobs aren't as rewarding compared to the jobs that people can get on the internet. Agriculture in a lot of countries tend to favor those who has the capital to own their own land and those who has the money to invest on livestock. With this knowledge, the younger generation opt to learn a skill and sell it over the internet in exchange for flexibility and more money. Of course, who would want to work on a farm and get a few dollars worth for their time and back-breaking effort?

A lot of the young ones are looking to get some compensation that is worth their while and does not take a long while to get. If these opportunities were available to people back then, I'm pretty sure the older generations would hustle hard to get what they wanted and be successful for literally half the time it would take them to master a trade and sell their services.

It's alarming that fewer kids want to learn a trade or work in the fields that empower our society, but you can't really blame them for wanting to be self-sufficient early on unlike the older generations who value their work so much and would literally spend half of their lifetimes in order to prove their worth.

[Agbamoni]

You have spoken the mind of the young ones indeed. It is exhausting spending more time and effort into work that will not give us maximum returns It's just like putting our energy into the wrong things. Growing up i had the mindset of not going to work for anyone the reason was because i saw how my parents worked for over 30 years and still working but the result of their labor is poor and unfulfilled. Ever since then i made up my mind that i will be in charge of how i work and there must be flexibility in any work i chose in this life.

When you exchange time for money you lack more time to think about ways of making more money. This is why i choose to be a website designer. I can work from home and have time to do other things like reading, fun activities, also invest into business and of all things i will have time to upskill and learn new things. This is the kind of life i want for myself, not a life where i answer yes sir to someone after giving him almost 80% of my time for some peanuts. I'm glad that the young generations have adopted technology, now there are competitions everywhere.

It is like they are waging a cold war against traditional employment. But is their mental health better than their parents? I don't think so.

If it's with their mentl health then it depends on the individual. Some people are getting happy if they have money; to give to their parents, buy the things they want, or anything that characterizes financial freedom. Well yes working at a young age is not advisable 'coz young ones should be focusing on their studies but we cannot blame them since they are the ones who sees the situation they are in. Our mental health would be affected no matter wha working set up we choose simply because we have different level of tolerance from one another.

With freelancing, I don't also see anything bad from it. Not following the traditional working set up is not a bad thing in the first place for the employee if that's his or her preference. I believe this is a part of evolution in line with technological advancements. There's also nothing wrong following traditional professions but let us allow everyone to make their own preference of how working and earning money should be done on their convenience and preferences.

[Upgrade00]

Different eras require different approaches to life and work. There is a ridiculous rise in cost of living today when compared to 30 years ago.

One could survive on less pay cause they had less bills to pay, housing wasn't so expensive, inflation was not this high. Fast forward to today, more people are living from pay check to pay chek, and have to find side hustles to make up the income.
In the quest for this "hustles" people create opportunities in different fields which require less time and can be done remotely.

With the advancement in technology, more jobs will become automated to fill in the gaps.

Let's face it, "traditional jobs" can be very hard work and in an era of "influencer" celebrities who get rich by sitting at home playing computer games or doing makeup videos, that seems super easy in comparison. Even the people who ended up taking those traditional jobs that existed 30 or 40 years ago, who are coming to the end of their careers, would probably have tried to take an easier path if it was available at the time. However we have probably encouraged the wrong type of role models in society, but entertainment and instant gratification media now is so prevalent in a world of non-stop scrolling. There is room for many different people in many different fields to create interesting content, but we still need plumbers or electricians who should be paid very handsomely for knowing a proper trade.

[Renampun]

As someone from the generation born in the 90s and 20s, it would be a shame to only rely on traditional jobs to earn money. Now that the internet has spread to almost all corners of the world and we have seen many rich and famous influencers come from rural areas, well, this is a privilege that many people can enjoy when the internet has reached the whole world.

However, not everyone has the talent and destiny to make money online, there are also many young people who, even though they have worked very hard, are destined to work in a company. But to learn any skill, it's very easy now, it's even widely spread on YouTube.

[GbitG]

We live in an era where money is everything, you can't do anything if you don't have money and you can't live a good life if you don't have a lot of it. This is the reason why people, even the younger generations, are always trying to do what will earn them more money, and if there is something that you can do more conveniently and earn more money as well, they would prefer that without a doubt.

One more reason behind this can be the way they are raised. A child who is raised in an environment where they see the elders using technology all the time, mobile phones, laptops, television, cars, and everything else, and they don't see them going to a farm and working to earn money, so they grow up with a mindset where they think they need to utilize these things to earn money and they learn about these things only.

generalization won't help to understand reality.
There are thousands of different groups of youngster in our society.

Currently,AI and Freelancers networks are on fire and Gen Z,they're truly maximizing this opportunity for this generation precisely.
Technology they say has done more good than harm to us,and there's an optimum advantage it has rendered this age.Technology keeps inventing and creating savory opportunities with breathtaking profits/earnings,and a lifechanging profession for survival.

Using bitcoin as an example,we all know the benefits,assistance and overly performance of knowing,having,using,trading e.t.c bitcoin to you and I.Technology has a lot of advantages,and financial freedom is one of them;it something that drives people crazy,not just crazy but
It's serves as a relief,an opportunity,an alternative and lots more.

But mind you,there's a niche for everyone,find it,discover it,build it,own it and make it happen for yourself...

[topbitcoin]

For me, as long as they still have the desire and will to make money, it doesn't matter. Compared to those who just laze around and don't seem to care about their future, where they fill their daily lives just by playing games, scrolling short videos, and playing on social media without producing anything and only becoming a burden on the family.

Although it is true that currently, Gen Z's interest in traditional industries continues to decrease, especially in the agricultural sector. So this raises concerns about the regeneration of traditional industries. and for the survival of humanity, the regeneration of workers in traditional structures is very important. Da to attract Gen z's interest in the industry, it is important to highlight the values that are relevant to this generation. One of the areas they are interested in is sustainability and ways of making a positive environmental impact. So, focusing on topics like organic farming or using environmentally friendly agricultural practices could draw their attention. In the mining industry, one effective way of promoting environmentally friendly technological innovations is through the adoption of enhanced drilling as well as extraction methods that are more efficient and sustainable. Similarly, in the manufacturing sector, applying modern technologies like 3D printing combined with innovation and responsibility can attract the attention of Generation Z.

[shinratensei_]

its about convenience sometime working traditionally as you stated working for people and get paid small amount isn't really the way, the mental burden is too much for the small amount of salary.
moreover freelancing also can be done from home, many younger generations actually enjoy working from home I presume after getting used with it within the pandemic.

if they can work from home and earn more than working in traditional employments I think it does make sense why they prefer to freelance instead.
its just overall a really good working environment where you can just do things from your home, select only the task that you want to do and still getting paid the amount that you initially agreed.

personally I also prefer the freelancing job as well, its just really flexible moreover with this job you can add things you've finished to your portfolio as well.

[uneng]

So if there is a way to create balance and bring more young people to have interest in the traditional workforce what would you think of? I was thinking that increasing minimum wages and granting more benefits like health, rent to mention a few would help

The reality is that world's population has grown too much, technology evolved a lot, many jobs spots were replaced by machines and AI and now we have a bunch of people without any occupation or purpose in our socities. Of course there are some low paying jobs left, which can be always found if are willing to work, but probably they don't worth your time if you are planning to make a long term income from them... As side hustle or as investment source it can be a good idea, but not worthful for a living.

On this aspect, I don't blame the new generation for not willing to work for miserable wages. But on the other hand, these emerging adults should take some responsabilities in life and understand if they don't try thriving, nobody is going to do this for them, neither life is going to knee before them with a silver tray offering all the wonders of the world and solutions for their lives at the reach of their hands.

The phenomenon we are watching is new, as are the outcomes they are going to generate. Balance has to come naturally, and not artificially like governments are used to do. It's worthless to raise minimum wages and offer extra benefits, if it's not clear from where the money is coming. Minimum wage is raised every new year, but at same time prices of goods and services increase on the same or in a higher intensity, so the most important thing, which is raising purchasing power is never achieved.

[Asuspawer09]

I guess kinda, I mean freelance jobs pay a huge amount compared to the traditional job and working at the office, I have a full-time job and the salary was very low, I have a side hustle part-time/freelancing pays a lot better than my full-time job, luckily my full-time job was not that strict I was able to do side hustle most of the time as long as I have free time, I just need to deliver my output but I could work anytime I want to. If your talking about the work from home situation I mean who doesn't like to work from home, for sure we all want that. Especially here in my country where the traffic was a huge disaster plus the offices and big companies are located only on the capital of the country so if you live a few city away the transportation would be hell, not to mention that its very hot because of the climate change here reaching a peak of 42degrees.

[serjent05]

You are really correct on this, in this current generation, younger people find it difficult to maintain a 9am to 5pm job, because they don't have passion for it,  they are mostly doing it like they don't have a choice, since it's the only means of survival at present, they mostly took it as a job were you work like elephant and eat like ant,  because it's very difficult to obtain a higher paying job.

In my country, it is not that younger people find it difficult to maintain 9 am to 5 pm job, they find it difficult to find  job with 9 am to 5pm time schedule.  In short, there are lots of unemployed individual in my country thus, in order to earn, they are forced into trying freelancing services.

So I think the title is an overstatement because the majority of young people today are still willing to have a fixed salary (get employed) rather than venturing into their own.

So I think the title is an overstatement because the majority of young people today are still willing to have a fixed salary (get employed) rather than venturing into their own.

I understand that the income from work that runs in the internet world is quite large like some of those who are now successful whether it is trading, becoming an influencer, youtuber or content creator where their income is many times the salary income when we work in the ordinary industrial sector or ordinary jobs as laborers in fixed salaries, but I think it is too early to conclude that venturing into the internet world to achieve a very large income as is done by people who are now successful, because it is not easy to make everything go according to what we want or the intention is not as instant as we imagine.

The conclusion is that in my opinion it is not young people who experience changes in terms of choosing a job but it is indeed the situation and conditions that force them to venture into other worlds to seek income such as the internet world where some are successful but not infrequently also fail. And as you said I agree with that that in my country also most young people are more unemployed, not because they don't want to work but the fact is that it is very difficult to find work in any field, especially jobs in the general industry, and the logic is that the name of necessity will never be tolerated, meaning that if there are many job vacancies in the general industry then it is clear that they will definitely choose it without thinking about venturing into the internet sector.

In addition to the two reasons you mentioned, I think the main reason is because young people today are afraid to go to work. They do not like jobs that are heavy or use too much physical effort, they like jobs that use little physical effort, and it can be said that they are lazy. The thinking of most young people is to get rich quickly and without having to put in too much effort. And that's why today, besides many areas of making money online, there are also many fraudulent money-making models born.

[Oasisman]

Isn't this a perfect time for the companies that are on-site based to realize how to improve their compensations and how they treat their employees? This is a wake up call IMO, except for the fact that working at home is more convenient and has higher pay grade than those who are working on-site which may require overtime. Working from home has way more benefits than downsides. One of them is the ability to spend more time with their family even if the job requires tons of overtime, the fact that you are at home working overtimes doesn't really matter at all, it is actually a plus for the income.
We can't really do something to avoid the increasing number of young professionals moving into working remotely, unless the companies will do something about it, like increasing the salary rate and lowering their standards (at least here in PH). FYI, some stores in here are looking to employ a cashier with a 4 year degree, but the salary grade is literally a little above the minimum, while a high school graduate who's working at home is earning triple.
Can't blame them though lol. I even saw a lot of public school teachers quit their job and opt to work for a job remotely from home.

[yhiaali3]

Unfortunately, this is the case in my country, as it is in most countries today. Extreme high prices, inflation, major economic problems, and poor income are all reasons that led young people to search for the easiest solution to obtain money.

Naturally, there is a lot of work and opportunities on the Internet, so young people are heading to this easy field, leaving the liberal professions, industry, and agriculture, and this will cause further deterioration of the national economy.

Young people looking for easy and profitable job opportunities cannot be blamed, but the government must be blamed for not providing the appropriate conditions for these young people to work in the agricultural and industrial sectors and providing salaries and financial incentives that encourage them to continue in these jobs that constitute the pillar of the economy of any country.

[Porfirii]

I think that the OP is right and new generations prefer innovative jobs rather than traditional ones. But, even if learning modern skills like SEO, programming or online marketing sounds promising, the fact that so many people is interested in these jobs and that it is so easy nowadays to learn them for free online could suppose that these abilities won't be very competitive in the mid-term. On the contrary, many traditional jobs are becoming niches because young people don't like them, and niches are usually profitable.

[GigaBit]

There is no way to ignore the tasks that are customary because if they are not done the balance that will be lost. It is not only online based jobs that can keep the entire country or the people of the country comfortable. If even those who are involved in production oriented jobs get attracted to online based jobs and try to leave those jobs it can pose a threat to public life. But not everyone will do the same. But with the change of era, there has been a big change in the way of thinking of people. If production oriented tasks are modernized then the new generation will not lose interest in doing this work. Encouraging the new generation to do such work is likely to yield good results. If they can encourage those in this production oriented sector by using modern equipment then the interest in this work will increase. New generation also need to explain why they should do this.

Traditional jobs on long term might me promising but not all of them are. Only in some sectors like the Oil industry feels more promising of a better profits than other sectors. So i think it is not good relying on such hope because anyday one can be sacked from work or forced to quit. I heard that the amount of money one could on the internet in a year could take am average worker who is working in the traditional structure 4 years to make such money. If may ask you, having heard this information as young lard would you prefer to kick your ass running in the traditional workforce or comfortably working from home with good pay? If you give it a second thought i believe you know the truth, less work and more money is all we want.

[aylabadia05]

So if there is a way to create balance and bring more young people to have interest in the traditional workforce what would you think of? I was thinking that increasing minimum wages and granting more benefits like health, rent to mention a few would help

The rapid development of technological sophistication brings many benefits to many parties involved. The sophistication of technology is not only felt by young people or better known as Gen Z, but people older than the age standard of the younger generation can also take advantage of technological advances.

They can further develop their business with technology such as promotions and other areas that make their work easier.
The younger generation or Gen Z is not only taking advantage of the technological era as a place for them to earn income. By becoming influencers, they can indeed earn income, but in my opinion they don't spend 100% of their days there.

I think Gen Z still has the mindset that people in general think that being able to earn income in two different sectors is what they want and a balance will occur if they implement something based on their abilities by eliminating the difference in who has more time. in work.

[Hewlet]

So if there is a way to create balance and bring more young people to have interest in the traditional workforce what would you think of? I was thinking that increasing minimum wages and granting more benefits like health, rent to mention a few would help

I think what's the case is that most of this people you're talking about have only shifted from being paid workers to becoming more of an entrepreneurs and innovative individual that prefer to developed something on their own that will fetch them real funds as opposed to what was obtainable in the past when people have to always hope to work for existing firms.

But then, regardless of how much the internet or freelancing money is, you can't do away with the raft that you still need agricultural product for the society to survive and apart from agricultural product, doing freelancing job still means you're working for someone but it's only that you're more free and you're working more at your own convenience. Increases of minimum wage would truly encourage people to go into civil service jobs mostly for the temporary point of view but in the long run, what is now the order of the day is that people want to bring there ideas to life and no one is reary to spend all his life, time and energy working for the fulfillment of another's mans dream and to be honest, it's not like its a bad thing or something that's to be discouraged. If you're able to think through a problem and offer solution to it, then you're just on track and should definitely put in your all into it but if you don't have what it takes to innovatively create something on your own, then it's better to stick with working for already existing firms. One of the advantage of working for already existing firms is that you save yourself so many mistakes you should have made if you just start up a business or your own and you get to learn by working for others. Their should be a balance on how we delve all into doing remote jobs, as much as it's now what's popular now among youths, we shouldn't despise those that aren't into freelancing jobs but that are rather employed in the public sector.

[lovesmayfamilis]

As a representative of an older age than the age the OP is talking about, I can say that the Internet is, roughly speaking, spoiling our youth. All these views of the beautiful life that they observe on social networks and all the expensive things supposedly earned from the Internet business create a very deceptive and illusory impression that you can easily earn money while sitting on the couch in your home. And such advertising makes lazy people out of people who don’t want to work. But how many people do we know who live beautifully on earnings from the Internet? Wanting and having are very different things. Those people who waste time looking for work online waste their time getting good qualifications offline. I’m not talking about everyone, because sometimes there are talents who build their businesses online in parallel with offline ones. And young people need to regularly open their eyes to the reality of the future and the fact that time will not wait for them.

[Frankolala]

Technology is a great thing because it comes with job opportunities. The internet have helped a lot of jobless youths to become what they never thought they can be because they now work in a flexible way online. This gives them the opportunity to manage their time and also plan their day. Unlike traditional jobs that eats up all your time.

Another reason is that these traditional jobs are just used to survive, and not to make a fortune. Unlike the internet job that you can use to secure a. better way of living and also invest. If you are working online, it is economical and not stressful. You don't need to run from one office to the other, or will you use a dime of your pay for transportation or other miscellaneous that might come up during your working hours. Youths wants an easy job that is flexible for them, than a tidiuos one.

[Strongkored]

Being able to make money without having to leave the house and not being tied to an institution is very enjoyable because there is no pressure to be had and what you earn can be greater than working in the traditional sector.
However, this is indeed a concern, because I remember the Minister of Finance in my country saying that young people currently prefer to be freelancers or content creators because I also noticed that many of them have an expensive lifestyle so they may not think about investing or even if they have it, they will probably sell it quickly when they no longer earn enough to cover their living expenses and when world conditions change it will be difficult for them to adapt to earn income because they are used to easy things, but I think the traditional sector will still have more who likes it because compared to freelancers or content creators, more people like regular things, work according to working hours and have a certain income every month.

[Casdinyard]

The ways of earning and living for young people have changed drastically since we moved from the agriculture(field) era to the technological( Internet money) era. Many young people are willing to sit at home waiting for a freelance job rather than going out to work for someone and getting paid little shillings. Research has proven that the rate at which people quit working in traditional industries has increased, perhaps they have found an online skill or a way to offer their services with high flexibility.



Link to complete Chart

The concern is very alarming this is because if limited young ones are willing to work in these traditional structures (Oil, Agriculture, manufacturing, etc.) how will they grow? The Gen Z workers (that is people born between 1997 - 2012) were the first to prioritize flexibility, personal well-being, and as well as intelligent usage. Of course, the internet money is way higher than low-paying jobs in those sectors, they can either choose to start their own social media accounts that would endorse them or pursue freelance work rather than entering the traditional workforce.

So if there is a way to create balance and bring more young people to have interest in the traditional workforce what would you think of? I was thinking that increasing minimum wages and granting more benefits like health, rent to mention a few would help

It's not concerning when you realize that the reason why the younger generations aren't getting employed in the traditional sense anymore is because the current paradigm of the employment and corporate world is because they saw it for all the predatory practice that it is really. Imagine, are you really going to want to be hired on let's say a Fortune 200-500 company, whose practices involve not paying their employees livable wages, and granting them pizza parties instead of pay raises or better working conditions, while their CEO out there's probably getting head from a Hawaiian local in their 15 million dollar jet plane? I don't think so.

Plus a lot of these "traditional" employment schemes you are talking about involved forcing their employees to go back to the office and experience the "office culture", amidst the rising inflation which increases the prices of everything from food to fuel, thereby leaving even less out of their salaries!

So I don't really care if "office culture is dying" or if this is alarming, the ones at the top have been fed for long enough that they think money just grows on the backs of the people they abuse the labor out of. If the system collapses and we get a better employment system that's good!

[peter0425]

Let's face it, "traditional jobs" can be very hard work and in an era of "influencer" celebrities who get rich by sitting at home playing computer games or doing makeup videos, that seems super easy in comparison.

Celebrities or influencers always say that it is not as easy as it looks like and they also go through hard times but let us be honest their job is a lot times better and easier than most traditional jobs like desk jobs or blue collar jobs for example.

It is still so much better to have full control of your time while still earning more than most people who graduated university lol.

[red4slash]

That is a fact that cannot be denied because today with the rapid advancement of technology, of course, it makes conditions in the desire and purpose of life also become different because the assumption that work must match their interests and they do not want to be tired to earn money is one of the problems that make them turn to technology.

This is a situation that is sometimes beneficial but on the other hand it can also backfire because as a result of the impact that occurs from increasingly advanced technology sometimes makes many young people including millennials and generation Z think more simply and even tend to be lazy.
In my area today they prefer to do live streaming with a lot of content that is not useful at all and makes competition on social media increase but they are comfortable with it even though seeing the income and competitiveness is very large.

Of course there are always ways to create balance and one of them is by creating satisfaction for employees. The level of employee satisfaction in a sector is often measured by how much salary they receive each month, benefits and other things. So it is true that increasing wages is one of the most effective ways to create balance.

Working 132 hours a month and earning $80 to $100 a month is not easy. Inflation requires you to get a better type of job with a higher salary level, so it is a big challenge for anyone to stay in a low-paying job like the ones I mentioned. As a result, it is natural for employees to choose to resign from their jobs due to lack of salary and choose more profitable types of work even without ties and official uniforms. The world demands you to think smartly and fight with the world's increasingly bad economic conditions, so the government may need to rack its brains to create a balance from now on.

Research has proven that the rate at which people quit working in traditional industries has increased, perhaps they have found an online skill or a way to offer their services with high flexibility.

And likewise, so has the rate at which the need for human labour has also drastically decreased in the traditional working system, due to the invention & assistance of robots and artificial intelligence (A.I) which makes work faster and easier than before. Because to be frankly speaking, I don't think anybody with his/her right sense will go choose a hard-work with low pay over a soft and stress-free online job with huge pay, and opportunity to work from home anytime, because one thing I have noticed to be constant in life is change, of which change in our mode or choice of job is  that I mean change in all dimensions, of which the mode of employment is no different.

[mu_enrico]

The quit rate doesn't tell the whole story IMO, since probably the employee turnover is already high historically. People come and go, pursue other dreams, or simply change company. If you say that the job openings are also lower, then probably because of automation as well, since many tasks are automated and done by robots. I mean the data doesn't say that "Young people are less likely to accept traditional employment." It's supply and demand, if there's low worker available, the salary will be pushed higher so that there's always someone willing to take the job.

[Promocodeudo]

The younger generation are thinking about innovations not being stagnated in a place in the name of employment, they have understand that for anyone to grow and become wealthy in life such person must think outside the box, our traditional employers may have outdated ideas thats still selling for them with the help of some young and old folks in the organization, some of us has realized that we have what it takes to grow after all what the society at large wants is what you can actually offer to them, despite how publicised Bitcoin has become there are people that hasn't known much about it, there are people that has decided to build apps for trading and crypto transactions and this site has been generating a lot of traffic and at so doing paying the app owners directly, aside this my narration there are many business that has good returns and many young people has involved themselves in this business and there is nothing someone can do to make make them think about employment because they see working for government ot individual as a trash.

Do you know why? because they see or watch a lot of hooked videos about having freelance/online jobs that can earn a lot of money, and usually even those from the provinces dream of going to the city to find a job where in fact, there is a lot of manpower works are waiting for their place but we can't blame the generation now, because they are more aware of the truth, like here in our country, when you are a farmer, you are poor. The government doesn't support you anymore, you're going to be robbed, so who wants to stay in that kind of job or career, right?

[Cryptomultiplier]

It's all still due to advancement in remote and virtual environment that has also contributed to people not wanting to accept a 9-5 job all in the name of earning and being an achiever.
I like the fact that the decentralized environment made people see that there's really ways to earn that won't even entail suspicious eyes on ones bank statement and one can easily work from anywhere as long as there's internet connectivity and there's a clear task to achieve a set goal of earning .

So if there is a way to create balance and bring more young people to have interest in the traditional workforce what would you think of? I was thinking that increasing minimum wages and granting more benefits like health, rent to mention a few would help.

Well, increasing minimum wages and granting benefits sounds awesome... not just for young people, but for all the workers worldwide. Minimum wages in some countries (including mine) are a complete joke, and since this inflation started going up like crazy minimum wages look like welfare.

It's hard to attract young people to some traditional jobs. What I have noticed is that younger people don't care at all about some things, and I honestly envy them for that. They don't give a fuck about working for little money and having someone give them orders just like that. They know they can find a job that pays better, or at least another job with the same wage but better working conditions. We should all learn more about self-esteem.

This is very common for current young generation. You hit bulls eye with that. Young people are spoiled by their parents and used to everything being affordable to them. Even many years ago, after graduating from school, I have heard many times how parents suggest (but proper word would be insist) their kids to enroll for lawyers, bankers or financial sectors, because other jobs are "not prestigious". Current kids go in IT sector, because junior dev earn +2k EUR from the start and you can quickly became senior and start earning +3k. They aim to get bachelor's in 4 years, spend a year as junior dev and at the age of 25 earn 3-4k, while most of adults spend 20+ years working to get same salary. Many times I have seen young kids saying that they better sit home (and be supported by parents) then go to work where they earn less than 1.5k EUR.

What we get now is overcrowded market with white collars and IT guys (who are afraid that AI going to replace them), and nobody who wants to work with hands. And then those kids are surprised how come a mechanic can earn +5k per month, when his job is to twist the nuts only.

[el kaka22]

I feel like it is the options, not the generation related. People who worked at 1950's didn't had the type of employment options that we had, and to be fair they didn't really had a gap as much as we have today, which resulted with them all being close to each other as much as they possibly could. In todays world, we have a lot more options, and that means of course people would have differences, and would pick different stuff, doesn't mean that it is not going to work out in the end.

I believe that newer generation should be happy with what they have, because it would mean that they are going to do pretty well with it. I believe that it shouldn't take that long for people to realize that office work is ending soon.

[Cookdata]

As someone from the generation born in the 90s and 20s, it would be a shame to only rely on traditional jobs to earn money. Now that the internet has spread to almost all corners of the world and we have seen many rich and famous influencers come from rural areas, well, this is a privilege that many people can enjoy when the internet has reached the whole world.

Have you ever had the opportunity to work with a presidential house before or have you ever had a chance to work as a politician before? OK let me come down a little bit, have you ever had the chance to ask how much a senior petroleum engineer earn per annum? There are some physical work that just take 101% of your time and you hardly have time to do any other things, and they are well paid for their time and bonuses that even online can't give them, so change your orientation about physical work, not everyone earn penny doing physical work.

However, not everyone has the talent and destiny to make money online, there are also many young people who, even though they have worked very hard, are destined to work in a company. But to learn any skill, it's very easy now, it's even widely spread on YouTube.

How many people are making money legitimately online other than doing gigs and doing content creation, they are just few. I believe if not for forum that some here learnt some Bitcoin technology and other ways of the forum, I'm very sure that many people here hasn't earn money online before, they just face their physical work but because here exit, they spend sometime here and get paid some change to settle little bills. Not everyone can do online no especially when you don't have the skills except if you want to work remotely if giur job requires you not to leave your house.

In the digital era like now, Generation Z must be able to take advantage of technological advances, in any field, so that it can open up employment opportunities for Generation Z. Because as you said, in an era like this it will be very difficult for Generation Z to be able to take advantage of these technological advances. . It would be a shame to only rely on traditional work, because in the internet era like now, it is very easy to earn an income if we are really serious about studying it.

For me, in this digital era, Gen Z must be able to utilize the internet by innovating and developing creativity so that they can develop quickly, because now we can easily access information through existing social media. We have entered an all-digital era and it is very natural that many generation Z are taking advantage of this to earn income. The reason is, the increasingly advanced and digital era will make it easier for Gen Z to innovate and be creative. So that they are able to read this opportunity, so that it can be used as an opportunity to make a lot of money from traditional work.

[Wexnident]

So if there is a way to create balance and bring more young people to have interest in the traditional workforce what would you think of? I was thinking that increasing minimum wages and granting more benefits like health, rent to mention a few would help

Minimum wage and companies need to start giving a damn to how management is. There's a LOT of repeated workplace toxicity in various companies not to mention that favoritism can be pretty rampant. You'd probably work 2 -3 people's worth and still get the same pay of someone just sitting at their table all day since they're a relative of the boss lol. And probably a couple more stuff like that, e.g. being paid so low, "passion pay" and others.

Minimum wage is something natural ofc. Plus, not only does it benefit young people, but it also benefits people who've been stuck in that system for a few years now.

[DeathAngel]

Younger people are less likely to accept traditional employment probably because they value flexibility & work-life balance seeking greater control over their time & schedules. They prioritise personal growth & fulfilment opting for careers that align with their passions & values. Younger generations embrace technology & digital platforms, enabling them to work remotely & explore entrepreneurial ventures. Younger people are driven by a desire for autonomy, purpose & the ability to adapt to changing economic landscapes.

[Kelward]

I think that the main reason why this new generation don't want to do the traditional works, where they'll work from morning till evening and receive salary at the end of the week or month is that they can stay in the comfort of their homes and earn even more money online. So why sweat and get their hands dirty, when they can conveniently relax and work in a conducive environment, make their money with their smart phones or computer. If there was internet and this level of technology in the older generation, the folks then would've probably done what this new generation is doing now, so I guess they're privileged to have the internet to earn incomes from it.

I don't think that we should be worried about who will do this traditional works, because we have billions of people on earth and everybody can't work online, some will always find passion in the traditional works.

You are right, but I believe despite all this, there will always be people willing to work in traditional industries because out of millions of people, there would be some who would be interested in traditional industries such as agriculture, mining, oil, etc. Besides, it is not like the whole world is going to get educated, no matter how advanced the world gets, there will always be some parts of the world where people won't be educated enough to be able to work in modern industries and workplaces and use technology to earn money, and such will be the people working in traditional work sectors.

So considering the economic situation we are facing all around the world, this should be the least of our concerns. Governments should make sure their countries have stable economies and their people aren't suffering from inflation and high rates of essentials. Things such as we are discussing here won't be that big of an issue I'm sure.

[Miles2006]

My first thought concerning the world employment rate and younger generation like you mentioned the gen z generation is actually surprising. The fact from my perspective there's no employment opportunity like the past and secondly everyone seems to be competing in our generation today like fighting for higher grades, dedication, integrity, all the good features a staff must maintain so sometimes I believe this generation will also want to work as a staff in higher companies but when there's excess competition most people will not even get the job. We all know what it takes to work in an oil company but there's no opportunity, working at home can be done by an organization too besides the chart never specified the type of work. During the covid 19 pandemic, alot of organization could not operate physically so they had to use the online system using laptop.

[Mame89]

Yes that's right. In the current technological era, many Generation Z generations are using the internet to earn income because of course currently earning income via the internet is much easier than earning income from traditional work. Apart from the working hours determined by a company, you can also earn more income from online work than from traditional work. Maybe this is what makes the younger generation more inclined to work on the internet, such as becoming influencers, YouTube, TikTok and so on, rather than working in companies or offices. Actually, there is nothing wrong with it, because every era always changes and currently the internet has become a sophisticated technology for finding work and earning income easily.

I don't think that we should be worried about who will do this traditional works, because we have billions of people on earth and everybody can't work online, some will always find passion in the traditional works.

Correct. Don't worry too much, because of course not everyone has the skills to earn income on the internet, so there are still many people who are interested in traditional jobs. This is the same as many people's concerns about AI technology that human labor is no longer used, but in fact not all work can be done by AI.

  Young people nowadays prefer direct government office work to traditional employment. Some of the reasons why some youths dislike these traditional employment are as follows;
1. Traditional believe; Many people believe that since traditional employment is not an employment which reigns with in a duration of time, they think that their lives is more in danger than that of government office employment, so for that they choose to avoid it. because of the fear of the envy of their rivals.
          Also, since they believe that it is some time a turn by turn affair, they seem to lack interest in it from the initial stage, bearing in mind that they will rather apply for a job in government direct office work seeing it that it'll be too late before their turn will come.
2. Barbarism; Even the way and manner some traditional festival are being celebrated by traditional rulers seem to be so barbaric to some young people's perspective.
3. westernization; Even the way western rules have over powered traditional rules today, has discouraged most of the youth to accept employment offer.

That is a fact that cannot be denied because today with the rapid advancement of technology, of course, it makes conditions in the desire and purpose of life also become different because the assumption that work must match their interests and they do not want to be tired to earn money is one of the problems that make them turn to technology.

This is a situation that is sometimes beneficial but on the other hand it can also backfire because as a result of the impact that occurs from increasingly advanced technology sometimes makes many young people including millennials and generation Z think more simply and even tend to be lazy.
In my area today they prefer to do live streaming with a lot of content that is not useful at all and makes competition on social media increase but they are comfortable with it even though seeing the income and competitiveness is very large.

Exactly, more so, some of these young people suddenly change to technology rather than traditional employment due to one or two reasons;
For example,freedom, most of the youth today like to be busy with the ways and how money can come. So they think that traditional Way of living is a waste of time to some extent, they changed to technological Way.
   Since in social media, one is free to say what ever he wants to say and do what ever he or she wants to do. 
  And also due to technological advancement, one can have financial freedom by engaging him or herself in one or two online business and also some airdrops can be available that can make you earn dollars without specific limit.

yeah good luck with that maybe they will do it in 20 years but oh you will be the one losing seniority.

do your self a favor find the old movie “ wild in the streets “ watch it and realize how old your idea is.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_in_the_Streets

1968 and the idea was not new even in that movie.

I understand with your point.

But, I didn't mean 20 years old boy will take the high positions without any experience. In my country, even you're a highly skilled worker and already have 5 years working experience, you're not yet enough to be promoted to senior positions. Or you can be promoted to senior positions, but your salary either stagnant or increase less than 20%.

So there are two options:
1. Continue to work as junior position with less job desk.
2. Promoted to senior position but didn't get paid accordingly and high pressure.

Move to other company isn't an option because finding new job is getting harder.

So if there is a way to create balance and bring more young people to have interest in the traditional workforce what would you think of? I was thinking that increasing minimum wages and granting more benefits like health, rent to mention a few would help

Hey, with what the young generations of now have seen in this internet world and how they’re exposed to the money here, I don’t think the government minimum wage can convince them to go back to the traditional means of employment, using your energy to get paid for your services. With the way the internet works is enlarging, even those that have become billionaires through the traditional means are now diversifying and making everything look like a tech company that young ones don’t need to spend much time to get works done or not necessarily living home to work, which is the best part of this.

A solution could come soon because most especially Agriculture cannot be abandoned just like other means of survival in this world. This generation are leveraging on internet money but I still feel other sectors can’t be completely abandoned as many people will still find their ways through those means and earn a better living through there. Division of labour is still active and will prevail over all this.

However, in this case the conditions are now a little more complicated where those who are actually fixated on several platforms that they think will get quite stable results in terms of economy because they see several successful predecessors there such as YouTube, Meta or currently TikTok although in some countries there may be restrictions but in the end a lot of young people are indeed fixated and think that it is the only job for them which makes the situation a little ambiguous where they seem to lose their identity because they are not looking for other options apart from being an influencer or content creator on a platform which in the end when they fail they become confused because they do not have other skills.

Although this is considered profitable, on the other hand, when they cannot compete, they seem to lose their way because they are confused about finding a job.

That's a short term solution. You increase minimum wage and you'll see the effect on the prices of goods and services. Employees will not feel the higher wage since the cost of living also increases so they will still choose to leave traditional employments.

It's inevitable that only a few will pursue a career on these fields. It's those who have real interest and those who enjoy the job that will carry these industries. Maybe introducing them more in the education system and to a younger audience would help.

The ways of earning and living for young people have changed drastically since we moved from the agriculture(field) era to the technological( Internet money) era. Many young people are willing to sit at home waiting for a freelance job rather than going out to work for someone and getting paid little shillings. Research has proven that the rate at which people quit working in traditional industries has increased, perhaps they have found an online skill or a way to offer their services with high flexibility.

The concern is very alarming this is because if limited young ones are willing to work in these traditional structures (Oil, Agriculture, manufacturing, etc.) how will they grow? The Gen Z workers (that is people born between 1997 - 2012) were the first to prioritize flexibility, personal well-being, and as well as intelligent usage. Of course, the internet money is way higher than low-paying jobs in those sectors, they can either choose to start their own social media accounts that would endorse them or pursue freelance work rather than entering the traditional workforce.

So if there is a way to create balance and bring more young people to have interest in the traditional workforce what would you think of? I was thinking that increasing minimum wages and granting more benefits like health, rent to mention a few would help

The fact is that now we live in the age of the Internet, and all young people see what is happening all over the world. And now no one wants to have a low-profile, dirty, difficult job. Everyone thinks they're special. In our time, we went to those specialties that we could master, we did not think about becoming bloggers - monetization had not been developed before, and our parents taught us that money can only be earned for hard honest work. And now there are many ways to monetize, and if the author has good content, then his efforts will definitely be rewarded.
Will there be a shortage of workers in the working professions?
Most likely, yes.
We invariably go to the fact that soon the author's work and workers will be very appreciated.

[Gaza13]

I think that the main reason why this new generation don't want to do the traditional works, where they'll work from morning till evening and receive salary at the end of the week or month is that they can stay in the comfort of their homes and earn even more money online. So why sweat and get their hands dirty, when they can conveniently relax and work in a conducive environment, make their money with their smart phones or computer. If there was internet and this level of technology in the older generation, the folks then would've probably done what this new generation is doing now, so I guess they're privileged to have the internet to earn incomes from it.

I don't think that we should be worried about who will do this traditional works, because we have billions of people on earth and everybody can't work online, some will always find passion in the traditional works.

What you say is very true, everyone has their own passion. Indeed, the development of information technology as it is currently undergoing changes and processes very quickly. I think it's not that this new generation doesn't want to work in traditional jobs, the problem is that there are very few traditional job opportunities in every country so they look for alternative ways or other solutions on how they can make money like people who are already successful in this sophisticated world. If the younger generation has found their way and is successful in this internet world, I don't think they will want to work in traditional jobs.

Basically I grew up during the same period, where people were taught to just be a good employee, I think it's much better what the younger generation have. They know their value, they do not accept the fact that they are going to be just another clog in the machine and they demand more from life.

If business owners can't afford to pay more then they do not deserve to have workers to begin with. Your employees should be living a decent life, if you can't afford a salary that would be a decent income for these employees then you should close your business and become a worker yourself. For decades we worked at places for peanuts and small amount of money just so that the business owners would have fancy cars and mansions and yearly world tours, new generation doesn't accept that difference anymore, it is that simple. I support them, I am not like them but I wish I was.

You're right here! I feel that if the government has more opportunities for the youthh in the tradition sector most persons would consider to work in that area. This problem started form when there will be thousands of graduate and these graduate have no work. So am not surprised that even at a teen we no longer keep our hope on the traditional sector anymore. Apart from the internet influencing our decision the government has failed for not fulfilling their sworn premises to provide job opportunities for the youth.

The lack of government attention will indeed make it difficult to find job vacancies in this field and the younger generation will also be lazy in choosing this field because after completing their education it will be difficult to get a job that suits their field and the current generation will also be able to easily find out about foreign cultures. and they are more interested in that culture and this would be very unfortunate, maybe one day their traditional culture will be lost and no one will be able to recognize it anymore because it is not well maintained.
Yes, of course the current generation will look for other fields that can give them work because this field has received very little attention so it will be very difficult to get a job vacancy.

[retreat]

But maybe this only applies to western countries, because in developing countries like mine there are still many young people who want to enter traditional industries such as oil and gas, agriculture, factories, etc., because compared to western countries, where there are many job opportunities in the technology and information sector, in developing countries job opportunities for this sector are still limited. And what's more, in my country the salaries of people in the oil and gas sector are very high, different from other sectors which on average are the same, so it is still a dream for young people.
But indeed I also see that today's young people who live in urban areas tend to be weaker against work pressure, where they prefer to work more flexibly and without being regulated, this may be a challenge for young people in the future to have a poor work ethic and difficult to control.

I actually look at the income earned or salary rather than the job because realistically everyone will look at the salary first before choosing a job.
And indeed in developed countries there are many jobs with high salaries so it is true as you say and this is inversely proportional to developing countries where people find it quite difficult to find work so they will do everything possible to continue their lives.
