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

[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.

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

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!

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?

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 .

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
