The generation that combines work and hobbies

-

The Minister of Manpower, Ida Fauziah revealed that the younger generation of workers now prefers work that can be done remotely. They even made a petition to resume the work from home system or work from home (WFH).

"I think the experience of the Covid-19 pandemic has become a new habit for them and they are making a petition to re-enforce WFH," said Ida at the 2023 National Coordination Meeting of Regional Heads and Forkopimda at the Sentul International Convention Center (SICC), Bogor, West Java, Tuesday (17/ 1). 

Those that Ida refers to are workers from generations Y and Z. For information, generation Y is people born in 1981-1996 or this year aged 27 years to 41 years. Meanwhile, Generation Z is those born from 1997 to 2012 or those aged 11-25 years in 2023. 

Two generations who have experienced working from home or remotely during the pandemic are comfortable with this new lifestyle. "What we have to see is they want to be in remote working," he said. Moreover, this new work culture, Ida said, is part of the demographic bonus that is happening in Indonesia. Given the Y and Z generations that dominate the workforce now.

In addition, these two generations have started to combine work with hobbies. This means they like to work in a field that is really liked. "(They like ) a mix of fun and work," he says. 

This condition is a new challenge for the government in absorbing the workforce. This is because 2.72 percent of the 8.2 million unemployed people have structural barriers. 

He said that it was difficult for them to become new entrepreneurs. This means they don't want to be entrepreneurs or just want to be workers. "So this is a number that I think is very challenging. Very few of them want to become new entrepreneurs," he concluded.

Many people may not be aware that gardening can actually harm the environment. A large amount of carbon dioxide can be released through tilling the soil. This contributes to global warming. When you cultivating and compacting the soil, destroys good fungi. Fertilizers like nitrogen and manure often leach out of the soil and pollute the water you drink. Global warming Did you know that the earth's soil gives out carbon dioxide in the atmosphere 10 times more than all human activity? This comes from the pill bugs, microbes, fungi and worms when they breathe, digest food and then die. Although in the past plants have been capable of absorbing carbon dioxide caused by small-scale tillages, this isn't the case nowadays. The increase of the globe's average temperature is because of the carbon dioxide the soil emits when tilled. The good news is that tilling can be minimized by mulching or sheet composting. Good Fungi In untilled soil, there is beneficial fungi known as the ...

How to Get Lost In Paradise: West Sumba, Indonesia

There she goes again. As I try to fall asleep I'm kept awake by the sounds of pigs, chickens and a restless water buffalo scratching under my hut. Yet louder still is the village outcast. This poor woman usually sleeps in the forest, but right now is just meters from my hut. She's been engaged in a loud and passionate slanging match with her alter ego for hours now. I'd love to know what she is yelling at her imaginary adversary, but my limited Indonesian is no help when she's communicating in a local dialect. I finally fall asleep only for the usual malaria pill induced nightmares to intrude. Still, in the morning the lady will be singing happily, and I'll get a first look at why I came to this remote part of West Sumba, Indonesia. Waking like a half-baked loaf of bread in the morning heat I walk the 1km or so to the beach with only a motley crew of farm animals and a few monkeys for company. I've come to surf, and to do so in one of the increasingly rare spots...
