Transcript
00:00 Instead of being an employee of a company,
00:03 a new generation wants to be a business owner or freelancer based on a survey.
00:09 It includes Gen X, born in 1965 to 1980,
00:13 and Gen Y, or millennials, born in 1981 to 1996.
00:19 Katrina Son has a report.
00:24 When he was young, Don loved to do business. He was doing it even when he was still studying.
00:30 So when he finished his course in Marketing Management, he started a car wrapping business.
00:35 The business owner is Jeyo Huete. He tried to apply for a job but he was not allowed.
00:51 I motivated him to build his own business.
00:55 When I fail on a certain thing, I feel more motivated to do something else.
01:00 Now, he is able to do what he wants because he has his own business.
01:05 Don and Jeyo are among the Gen X and Gen Y who do not follow the habits of most people who depend on their jobs.
01:15 In the survey that was part of the 10th study of Fieldcare, more Gen X and Gen Ys were self-employed as business owners.
01:23 36.3% of their respondents, compared to 12.8% of service and sales workers.
01:31 The remaining 9.5% are self-employed professionals, including freelancers.
01:37 According to a sociologist, the increase of those who try to do business or freelance
01:43 is a way to keep up with the times.
01:45 Our society has enabled people to be able to explore and to be able to create new models.
01:54 There's this freedom now because nowadays, when you say work, it has evolved from agricultural to industrial.
02:03 And now you're seeing now that there's a new model that people can work effectively
02:09 even if you're just alone in your house, you're doing your own work, your own business, your own home.
02:17 Technology is also helping a lot.
02:20 According to the survey, the top four priorities of Gen X and Gen Y are health benefits,
02:26 job satisfaction, monetary benefits, and ease of travel.
02:30 Katrina Son reporting for GMA Integrated News.
