- We conducted research in January this year about this new set of young people – the Beta Generation. They are responding to the economic conditions around them and constantly learning, and more open to risk This is coupled with digital technology advances – young people are often early adopters and are using technology to their advantage The Beta Generation are considering unconventional careers and more opportunity for entrepreneurship – for example Jamal Edwards started his own YouTube channel – at 22 years he is worth £6m Young people have not lost hope! The Beta Generation is named after the concept of beta testing in technology – where products are launched, improved, re-launched, tested and improved over and over, to build in better developments every time. Young people of this generation display an entrepreneurial resilience and openness to risk that has been amplified by the youth employment crisis (lack of jobs mean many have less to lose) and by technological advances (giving them low cost, low risk opportunities to try out their ideas).
- Young people are looking for flexible jobs with a feel-good factor, and are beginning to reject the traditional 9-5 and employer/employee relationship. Not only are jobs for life are thing of the past, increasingly so are careers for life
- Two-thirds (59%) have made money outside of a traditional job.
