Re: Young people are less likely to accept traditional employments in this era!
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
I work as a UI/UX designer in a very comfortable working environment where sometimes I can play ping-pong, PlayStation and have some fun while my salary remains significantly higher than those who do manual labour and very physically intensive jobs.Link to complete Chart

As the young generation grows, they see how some people do a little job and have lots of money while others work very very hard and barely have money for food. It's hard to motivate them to work in traditional industries, and their parents do everything to make that happen, to protect their kids from working in traditional industries.
GenZ isn't going to work in those industries and I think that if AI and robots develop soon enough before the elder generation (40+) retires, then we can be safe or those traditional industries will be forced to offer higher salaries, less physical work and better working conditions.
