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


If people conduct their traditional activities in traditional processes their productivity will not increase. Information technology helps people a lot in economic development in the age of information technology. For example my father is a farmer, he has been farming all his life. But he was not able to bring about economic development comparatively. He certainly doesn't want the next generation to live a very ordinary life just like him, it is everyone's wish that the next generation should live a better life than he/she. But if country people show disinterest in doing more like this, it will definitely be a worrying phenomenon. However due to industrialization there has been a great development in the agricultural sector. With less effort and time, it is possible to produce many times more than before.
