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

[Mame89]

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.

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.

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.

  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.

[Jawhead999]

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.

[Jegileman]

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.

[summonerrk]

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.

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.

It is true that nowadays the younger generation tends to choose the job they want which is very promising and doesn't drain their energy rather than traditional work because nowadays the progress of the digital era demands that the younger generation learn a lot of new things, but there's nothing wrong with that. The question is, can we survive in this current era without anyone or few taking up the traditional work sector?
It's hard to say because the living system becomes unbalanced and creates difficulties the future.

[Reatim]

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,

If there is any choice of employment without much difficulty, then why should people settle for a harder means of employment with lower fees. in this time where anything can be profitable using the internet it has become much easier to earn money.

Meanwhile traditional employment did not improve because the government does not focus on them. It should also keep up with how the times are changing.

Everyone wants to be a part of the traditional sector but due to limited opportunities everyone cannot get a chance to earn from such a sector therefore they move towards the online sector where there are not limited seats available but everyone can participate and earn based on their skills.

There are a large number of Individuals who have obtained higher education but they are currently at their home without doing anything for their family and himself because he cannot find any job due to shortage of jobs.

If there were an abundance of job opportunities then no one will be jobless and people will be able to utilize their knowledge and degrees for the welfare of their country as well as work better for their own bright future.

[0t3p0t]

Yeah sad reality since based on my observation here in my place gen z are way more interested in information technology related jobs which involves internet money and stuff. Some also prefer working abroad for a much better salary rate. Though the increase of individuals getting a degree degree in agriculture sector is increasing as the the government issued free tuition fee for it but the draw back here is that graduates will find job that is not related to it just like call center or BPO in general.

Seems like the same problem everywhere even in my country people's job is irrelevant to their education and new generation are more focussed on internet money, freelancing and remote jobs but at the same time I do see those who are born in early 90s and late 80s who had a successful career are going back to the roots and leaving their well paid job for agriculture and I know few very good startups which was founded by IT employees after quitting their lucrative jobs.

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.

With respect to time and technological advancements,presently,70% of gen Z will switch from their jobs for a better high tech,Gen Z are willing to use technology to make their lives easier and at the same time,they value digital communications over physical jobs  for a progressive inputs.
Gen Z are raised with the Internet and social media,in essences,the millennial generation ignored the digital benefits and revolution that it offered or has.And its not that the Gen Z discovered or understood the importance all along.All of the revolution,application,new technology became noticeable by the time of the Gen Z;Gen Z grew up on it(Internet).

Gen Z is the Internet and instead of trying to not get consumed by the pressures and threats that comes with traditional jobs offers,Gen Z eventually gets tech-savvy,security conscious,and safely ensures that thier online information doesn't get into wrong hands.

Currently, most of the younger generation are very few who want to do traditional jobs, they prefer to follow current technological developments and prefer to be employees who have a fixed salary, indeed there are some who want to return to working in traditional jobs and they have been able to incorporate technology into the work they do to make it easier for them to complete their work.
