Time is Money: How Bangladesh Gen-Z's Make the Most from Quality Time Pass

Gen Z Revolution: End of 15-Year Autocracy in Bangladesh

Photo credit- Prothom Alo

Understanding Generation Z: What working conditions are the most important motivating factors for Generation Z in Bangladesh. As a freelancer, my perspective is quite different from others in all respects. Before going to the main topic let's see a picture of Gen Z for a better discussion.

Around 28% of Bangladeshi people are young, aged between 15-29 years, often referred to as Generation Z. Gen-Z, born roughly between 1997 and 2012, is a cohort defined by its unprecedented digital immersion.

Raised in an era dominated by smartphones, social media, and the internet, they are digital natives, comfortable with technology. In a way previous generations never were. This digital fluency has shaped their worldview making them more informed, connected, and engaged. Subsequently, it is no surprise that they are more likely to question authority and challenge the status quo. Today, they are powerful agents of change, making and breaking people, influencers, brands, and past ideas on the daily.

Briefly—it's an open secret to us all: "Time is money," and OUR YOUTH is relevant to wiser than the elders! Bangladeshi YOUTH Gen-Z's are heading to social media and are used to it. Around 172 M mobile connections and 90 M unique mobile subscribers exist, and over 25% are active mobile internet users.

Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok – platforms are the most frequently used platforms. Using social media became instilled in Gen Zer's habits. One-quarter of Gen Zers spend approximately five hours or more per day on social media.

Currently, 66766100 Facebook users in Bangladesh in April 2024, which accounted for 37.6% of its total population.

Employment in Bangladesh
In the year 2023, Bangladesh's unemployment rate was 5.06%. According to a 2023 survey by BRAC University and Bangladesh Youth Leadership Centre, 42% of educated youth in Bangladesh are considering leaving the country for employment.

Challenges for Gen Z in the labor market

A study in Bangladesh found that there is a gap between the expectations of young graduates and the realities of the labor market. Some of the challenges include:

A mismatch between the skills required by employers and those that unemployed youth prioritize
Low pay and long hours
Difficulty finding internships that meet their needs
Belief that foreign degrees are more valuable than local ones The Benefits of Being an Entrepreneur

Time Management: How to Manage your precious time wisely and efficiently

Highlight the unique challenges and opportunities faced by Gen-Z entrepreneurs in Bangladesh. Thesis statement: Gen-Z in Bangladesh can effectively utilize their time to build successful businesses by leveraging technology, embracing a growth mindset, and networking strategically.

One-quarter of Gen Zers spend approximately five hours or more every day on social media. Moreover- on the sideline of their study they use their idle time to learn freelancing.

Time management wisely and precisely is the matter. Time and tide wait for Nome. This is a one-way train that never comes back again.

Say for example if a college student pursuing honors it will take 4-5 years to complete graduation. They spend 5 hours online using social media. Social Media expert or Marketing is a highly demandable job worldwide.

Profile Building Content Posting Chatting Answering with your friends or networks are all the same. The only difference is that one is unwise and not purposeful. Be purposeful in managing your time:

Financial freedom and independence
Personal fulfillment and satisfaction
Flexibility and work-life balance
Innovation and creativity
Contribution to the economy

Challenges Faced by Young Entrepreneurs in Bangladesh

Limited access to capital and resources
Lack of mentorship and guidance
Bureaucratic hurdles and regulations
Social and cultural pressures
Economic instability

Out of Five, I would like to shed light on 2. Lack of mentorship and guidance

There is a huge platform every day using their campaign on Facebook regarding mentorship and learning of different freelancing courses online and offline. 99.99 are Spam and fraud. Some others use tics and tactics to grip and grab money by hook or cook. Using the name of Paid tools so and so...

This is the practical experience that I have been facing for a long.

Our Bangladeshi prevailing situation to manipulated in any way.

There are so many creditable online companies Like Google Facebook HubSpot Udemy providing many online free courses on SEO Digital Marketing PPC Google AdSense FB ads Google ads PLUS more...
You may read online posts and journals from niche industry expertise platforms- Search Engine Journal Search Engine Land Fobs HubSpot SEMrush plus more as per your interest...

How Hiring Brilliant: Really Amazing ROI By Smart Investments PRIZE

Hiring Brilliant: Maximizing ROI with Smart Investments

Finding the Right People: Matching Talent with Roles Providing the best compensation Culture and friendly environment scope of work is crucial. Recruiting is not the ultimate result. Retaining ongoing relations and loyalty matters to attract and avoid brain drain or burnout.

Most fictitious companies like and love HIRE & FIRE... possess bad reviews!

In today's competitive job market, attracting and retaining top talent is crucial for organizational success. However, simply hiring individuals with impressive resumes is not enough. It's equally important to ensure that these individuals are the right fit for the specific roles they will fill. You can't fry fish without oil- Employ Happiness matters!!

In today's dynamic and competitive business landscape, the quality of your team can significantly impact your success. Hiring the right professionals is not just about filling vacancies; it's about investing in individuals who can drive your organization forward. While the temptation to cut costs might be strong, compromising on talent can lead to decreased productivity, missed opportunities, and ultimately, a lower ROI.

Bengali, Chattogram proverb "ছাগল দিয়ে হাল চাষ"

Literal Translation: "Ploughing with a goat"
Figurative Meaning: Doing something completely impossible or illogical. It's often used to describe a situation where someone is trying to achieve something that is simply not feasible or sensible.

The High Cost of Cheap Talent

Increased Turnover: Employees who feel undervalued or underpaid are more likely to leave, leading to costly turnover.
Decreased Morale: A team composed of underqualified or disengaged individuals can negatively impact overall morale.
Reduced Productivity: Employees who are not equipped to handle their responsibilities may struggle to meet deadlines and achieve goals.
Damaged Reputation: Hiring inexperienced or incompetent staff can tarnish your company's reputation.

Strategies for Hiring Brilliant Talent at the Best Price

Define Your Needs Clearly: Before beginning your search, create a detailed job description outlining the specific skills, experience, and qualifications required for the role. This will help you attract truly qualified candidates and avoid wasting time on unsuitable applicants.
Leverage Your Network: Reach out to your professional network for recommendations. People who know you and your company are more likely to refer qualified individuals.
Utilize Social Media: Platforms like LinkedIn can be powerful tools for finding top talent. Use relevant keywords and hashtags to connect with potential candidates.
Consider Freelancers and Contractors: For short-term projects or specialized skills, hiring freelancers or contractors can be a cost-effective option.
Offer Competitive Compensation and Benefits: While it's important to stay within budget, offering competitive salaries and benefits packages can attract top talent.
Focus on Cultural Fit: Look for candidates who align with your company's values and culture. A good cultural fit can lead to increased job satisfaction, productivity, and retention.
Invest in Employee Development: By providing opportunities for growth and training, you can help your employees reach their full potential and increase their value to the company.

The ROI of Hiring Brilliant Talent

Investing in top-tier talent may seem costly upfront, but the long-term benefits can be substantial. By hiring individuals who are passionate, skilled, and aligned with your company's goals, you can:

Drive Innovation: Brilliant employees are more likely to think outside the box and devise creative solutions.
Improve Customer Satisfaction: A talented team can provide exceptional customer service and build strong relationships.
Increase Productivity: High-performing employees are more efficient and effective, leading to increased output.
Enhance Your Company's Reputation: A team of talented professionals can help your company establish itself as a leader in your industry.

In conclusion, while the temptation to cut corners on hiring may be strong, it's essential to prioritize quality over cost. Investing in brilliant talent can drive your organization's success, improve your ROI, and create a sustainable competitive advantage.
