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...

Learning is the key to success- Why English?

Independently by you, proactive passionate individuals may succeed in the freelance world of seasoned professionals. I have shared about the Natural and universal Way of Learning English. Keep continuing Learning by Reading Commenting Intersecting Sharing. Outsourcing Marketplace demands English greatly. Moreover English is our second language we have to put more effort and time into this end. There are so many authentic online sites rendering the free tutorials couching on English Try Google keyword search.

And English is generally of two types the UK and USA English. A freelance world dominated by American or USA English. So you go for …. Or as you wish and LIKE. Likewise is better. US Basic English skills are at the top of the list.

Moreover- I may start a blog writing and publishing like my one to showcase your expertise, interests, and niche. This will help you Brand yourself to sell online.
