Gen Z Still Relying on Their Parents?
Of that number, 5.7 million or 61 percent bear the burden of the 11.1 million productive generation, namely millennials (born 1981-1996) and generation Z (born 1997-2012). The rest will cover their own lives or those of their co-parents.
As many as 62 percent of the 5.7 million elderly residents support family members from two generations, namely the elderly themselves and their children. However, there are also 38 percent of elderly people who have the burden of three family members, starting from elderly people, children, in-laws, and grandchildren.
Viewed from this point, the burden of life for elderly Indonesians is heavier than the burden of the millennial generation and Gen Z as family support. As many as 4.5 million millennials and Gen Z "only" support 5.6 million elderly people. This figure is much smaller than the 11.1 million productive generations whose lives are covered by elderly people.
Are the elderly not allowed to work?
It is of course permissible for seniors to continue working in their old age. Quoting health theory, elderly people can continue to work so that their health level does not decline. Working is a form of activity that elderly people can choose as long as it is not burdensome. Other activities can take various forms, such as social activities to hobby activities.
However, not all employment sectors can be a place for elderly people to work. Job analysis is needed to be able to place the elderly in formal jobs that guarantee the elderly a steady income and guarantee work risks. Apart from that, the working hours of the elderly are also shorter than those of other productive generations.
Ideally, senior citizens or senior citizens over 60 years of age enjoy parents' day. They don't need to work hard to meet their living needs and for their children who are entering productive age. Senior citizens should be able to finance their daily needs from pension funds.
Factors that cause the elderly to still sustain Gen Z are:
- Economic Dependency: Generation Z may still depend on financial support from their parents or grandparents because they are not yet economically independent, either because they are still in education, have difficulty finding work, or the job they get is not stable enough.
- Economic Conditions: The high cost of living, including the costs of education, housing, and other basic needs, makes it difficult for Generation Z to be financially independent without help from the older generation.
- Labor Market Difficulties: High unemployment rates among the younger generation or less stable jobs mean they still need support from parents or grandparents.
- Structural Changes in Families: In some cases, changing family structures, such as one-parent families, may lead seniors to take a greater role in supporting generation Z.
semoga tidak ada lagi gen z yang males
BalasHapusBener banget, gen Z sekarang cenderung lebih males dalam hal apapun, di banding generasi sebelumnya
BalasHapusSemoga gen Z dapat mengurangi rasa malasnya dan tentunya juga dari faktor lapangan pekerjaan yang sulit hingga banyak gen z yang belum mendapatkan kerja
BalasHapusuntuk gen z semoga kedepannya bisa lebih berkembang dan untuk pemerintah bisa membuka lapangan pekerjaan sebanyak-banyak nya supaya bisa mengurangi angka pengangguran yg ada di Indonesia
BalasHapusHopefully Gen Z can open their minds in looking for jobs supported by today's digital technology and not depend on their parents anymore
BalasHapusHopefully in the future Gen Z can be more independent and not always rely on their parents. and also that Gen Z can be even more productive in any situation and Parents also teach their children to live independently
BalasHapusAnd I would like to add that when we have children, it would be better if we talked more deeply, and taught them to save and be independent. So that in the future children will not depend on their parents.
BalasHapusfor gen z hopefully can reduce their feeling of laziness
BalasHapusI think this article is very relevant to life today. I love This
BalasHapusSemoga dengan adanya artikel ini membuat gen z termotivasi dari rasa malas.
BalasHapusI could'nt agree more. This is also a gentle warning for me not to be lazy :''')
BalasHapusThis issue is really interesting to discuss!! Because some people are still unaware of this issue.
BalasHapusMaybe it's because parents pamper their children too much from a young age, so their mindset is too dependent on their parents rather than themselves. Hopefully Gen Z and future genes can change their mindset.
BalasHapusThis is a serious problem, Gen Z should pay more attention to this for their future
BalasHapushai, saya salah satu gen z anak 2006 nihh. betull banget, kebanyakan dari teman teman saya memang masih ditopang oleh orang tuanya. tapi bukan karena kita malas ya, saya juga alhadulillah udah dapet kerja dan bisa bantu ekonomi keluarga. lapangan pekerjaan yang sedikit dan syarat yang ketat jadi halangan buat generasi kami nih. kami dituntut untuk punya pengalaman dan skill ahli agar dapat kerja, sedangkan ga semua orang bisa menikmati pendidikan tinggi. saya rasa artikel ini bagus sekali untuk menjadi acuan bagi pemerintah agar sasaran penerima prakerja lebih tepat dan anak anak di indonesia diberikan pendidikan yang layak. cari kerja susah kalau tidak ada pendidikan tinggi, lebih susah lagi mau punya pendidikan tapi malah dijadikan bahan bisnis oleh beberapa oknum. artikelnya kerennn btwww
BalasHapusIt's not just Gen Z, even millennials who still depend on their parents, and don't even support their parents, so how can their parents not look for work?
BalasHapusgen z Ter the best
BalasHapusThis article made me realize, thank you for making it. Cool and useful for gen z.
BalasHapusI think this article is very appropriate to the current conditions. I hope that this problem will find a solution soon. As part of gen z I also sometimes feel lazy, but it's not always gen z who are lazy, there are several things that contribute to this problem including fewer jobs than the number of gen z, minimum education to register for the job and so on.
BalasHapusIsu ketergantungan finansial pada generasi Z merupakan hal yang sangat memprihatinkan, hal ini diakibatkan karena tingginya tingkat pengangguran, pekerjaan yang tidak stabil, serta perubahan struktur keluarga yang mengharuskan para orang tua atau lansia untuk mendukung finansial mereka.
BalasHapusDiharapkan dengan ada artikel ini, dapat meningkatkan kesadaran generasi Z untuk dapat mandiri secara finansial. Diharapkan juga pemerintah dan masyarakat dapat bekerja sama untuk menciptakan peluang kerja yang lebih stabil sehingga beban pada orang tua atau lansia berkurang dan kedua generasi dapat mencapai kesejahteraan yang lebih baik.
This made me realize that many Gen Z people are not yet able to live independently. This is a very unfortunate situation. Thank you for creating this blog and making me aware that as a Gen Z I have to be more independent. Cool article!
BalasHapusThis article is very relate in this era. Hopefully with the presence of this article, we as young people are more motivated not to lazy and learn not to be dependent on our parents
BalasHapusFrom the life cycle, every human being has to work to fulfill his needs, whether he is young or old.
BalasHapusPerhaps from my own perspective the younger ones should be more productive, and there is nothing wrong with humans when they still feel their bodies are healthy enough to work.
and the conclusion here, if you can still fulfill the necessities of life, fulfill them
hopefully in the future gen z can be more developed, improve skills so that they are not always underestimated, and are not ashamed to work from scratch because everything is a process.
BalasHapusFor gen z people, they must motivate themselves not to be lazy to study and work so that there is not many unemployment.
BalasHapusThis article can provide an illustration that currently generation Z is faced with many challenges as time goes by, and is always faced with economic problems which have a quite big impact on this generation. but not only that, parents are also of course faced with the various behaviors of generation Z nowadays so that poor communication often occurs
BalasHapusHopefully in the future Gen Z can develop more, improve their skills so they are not always taken for granted, and not be embarrassed to work from the start because everything is a process
BalasHapusI think, Gen Z makes something bigger with their creativity thinking, but sometime they always suggested to be a lazy generation. However, their contribution to this country make a half impact too
BalasHapusyes, that's why gen z needs financial support through education and job training.
BalasHapusmenurut saya artikel ini sangat bagus untuk membuka pola pikir gen z dan saya rasa perlu banyak orang untuk mengetahui artikel ini
BalasHapusAs Gen Z, I feel the impact of economic difficulties. However, another cause of more elderly people working compared to Gen Z is competition in the world of work. Many Gen Z have good potential, high work enthusiasm or even a lot of experience, but all will be inferior to people who have privileges either with "insiders" or whatever.
BalasHapusLansia dengan kondisi rentan yang tetap berusaha menopang Generasi Z menghadapi tantangan yang signifikan. Meskipun mereka seringkali menghadapi keterbatasan fisik dan kesehatan, dedikasi mereka dalam memberikan dukungan emosional, finansial, dan moral sangat berarti bagi Generasi Z. Peran mereka memperkuat ikatan keluarga dan memberikan teladan tentang ketangguhan dan kebijaksanaan hidup. Namun, penting untuk memberikan dukungan yang memadai kepada lansia ini agar mereka juga mendapatkan perawatan dan perhatian yang mereka butuhkan.
BalasHapusNot all Gen Z are like that But hopefully in the future there will be more Gen Z who will be more diligent
BalasHapusThe government must provide ample job opportunities, so that no Gen Z and Millennials rely solely on their parents
BalasHapusI think this article should be disseminated in order to change the mindset of Gen Z so that the current cycle of parents does not repeat itself in the future.
BalasHapusArtikel ini sangat relevan dengan zaman sekarang. Semoga dengan hadirnya artikel ini, kita sebagai generasi muda lebih termotivasi untuk tidak malas dan belajar untuk tidak bergantung pada orang tua.
BalasHapusI hope Gen Z is more aware...
BalasHapusZaman-zaman sebelumnya juga sama, cuma gen Z lebih menonjol dan kebanyakan dari gen Z masih mengedepankan gaya hidup fancy mengikuti perkembangan zaman sekarang ketimbang dari generasi sebelumnya yang lebih berfikir realistis, mudah-mudahan dengan adanya artikel ini bisa menyadarkan para generasi gen Z
BalasHapusAs a Gen Z, I feel this article is very revealing and provides encouragement to other Gen Z
BalasHapusIn my opinion, everything comes from his parents' upbringing. In the past, whether small children were pampered or not, even if they were pampered, it was not wrong for Gen Z and Millennial children to depend.
BalasHapusgreatt articlee, thank u!! 🤩🤩
BalasHapusHopefully Gen Z is no longer lazy
BalasHapusSo coolll! What inspired you to write this?
BalasHapussemoga tidak ada lagi gen z yang hobinya bermalas-malasan
BalasHapusKomentar ini telah dihapus oleh pengarang.
BalasHapusaccording to this article, this condition is relate to Gen Z, where the Gen Z still trying to achieve their independent during the difficult economic context, and i hopefully Gen Z get a job for fulfill their lives and not depend on their elders.
BalasHapusbetapa berat beban hidup mereka. Harusnya kan, di usia 60 tahun ke atas, mereka udah bisa menikmati masa pensiun dengan tenang, bukan malah masih kerja keras.Ayok, masa muda semangat kerja, biar masa tua nanti kita tinggal menerima hasil!
BalasHapusYes, that's right. There are lots of people around me who are elderly but still work odd jobs, because they don't want to bother their children. Meanwhile, children also do not live well
BalasHapusvery interesting article! very helpful
BalasHapusGood article! This article contains message especially for gen Z to be more aware👍
BalasHapusMemang benar gen Z cenderung lebih pasif dan menuruti rasa malasnya, saya pribadi mengakui itu. Namun justru itulah tantangan bagi gen Z zaman sekarang, bagaimana mencari cara untuk bisa memnbangkitkan semangat dalam diri. Saya berharap kedepannya para gen Z bisa lebih mandiri, terutama dalam hal pekerjaan yang semakin sulit didapatkan. Kedepannyajuga gen Z lebih baik tidak bergantung pada lowongan pekerjaan, namun mereka dapat menciptakan lowongan pekerjaan untuk orang lain
BalasHapusThis article is a powerful, It’s a compelling call to action for society to recognize and address the challenges faced by our aging population, ensuring they receive the respect, care, and assistance they deserve while acknowledging their invaluable contributions to sustaining Gen Z.
BalasHapusThank you for the insightful article. Your data on elderly workers and their financial burdens offers a crucial perspective on the challenges faced by older generations in supporting their families.
BalasHapusIt's pretty ironic indeed. The elders are supposed to be enjoying their time in the late age...i do have some friends who's their grandparents are still working to support their finances. It's always sad seeing them working day and night, i hope your writings could be an urge for Gen Z to work harder so that we don't need to burdened our elders anymore :)))
BalasHapusI agree with the statement that elderly people continue to work in their old age. Because most elderly people are usually bored just being at home and doing repetitive activities (like my grandmother). I hope that in the future more people will open job vacancies for the elderly..
BalasHapusArtikel nya baguss banget aku sebagai anak gen z udah ngerasain nyari kerja setelah lulus sekolah bener bener cape banget . Cape, males, semua itu emang ada di dalem diri aku tapi aku bisa lawan semua itu demi bisa gapai masa depan aku.
BalasHapusagree with this article, hopefully with this article, gen z becomes self-aware not to depend on parents
BalasHapusThanks for addressing this topic, as it broadens my perspective as a Gen Z individual. Next u can make any the article
BalasHapusi think future parents must be encourage your child to be financially independent. Teach them about budgeting, saving, and investing. so they can be individually independent
BalasHapusgreat article. shows that many elderly in indonesia still have to work to support their families, including millennials and gen Z. the hope is that with better pension programs and more stable job opportunities for the younger generation, this burden can be alleviated in the future.
BalasHapusArtikel ini membantu sekali supaya Gen Z mendapat motivasi untuk kedepannya yang jauh lebih baik
BalasHapusUntuk artikel di atas secepatnya dilakukan keterbukaan dan tindakan bagi pemerintah untuk mengatasi generasi milenial, khususnya lapangan pekerjaan yang lebih luas agar nantinya kaum milenial ini bisa ikut berkontribusi dalam perekonomian untuk menopang dirinya sendiri sehingga nantinya para generasi milenial ini tidak ketergantungan terhadap orang lain
BalasHapusSebenarnya gen z itu kreatif tp karna beberapa faktor yg membuat mereka males dan susah utk mendapatkan lapangan pekerjaan, jd masih bnyk gen z yang tidak bekerja dan masih menjadi tanggungan keluarganya. semoga kedepannya makin banyak lowongan pekerjaan buat gen z dan generasi selanjutnya
BalasHapusthis topic is relevant, because this is serious problem
BalasHapusArtikel ini bagus dan telah menunjukkan bagaimana generation Z sekarang. Semoga kedepannya generasi Z lebih semangat lagi untuk mulai bekerja dan dapat berani men coba hal-hal baru
BalasHapusthe article is very interesting and very relatable
BalasHapusTernyata kenyataannya sepertinya ini ya banyak gen z yang masih bergantung pada orangtuanya yang bahkan sudah lansia, ini cukup menyadarkan kita sebagai gen z termasuk saya untuk bisa hidup lebih mandiri dan tidak bisa terus menerus bergantung pada orang tua. Namun, menurut saya memang cukup sulit bagi gen z untuk mendapatkan pekerjaan yang sesuai dengan kualifikasinya dan juga ada faktor lain yang menghambat bagi gen z untuk hidup lebih mandiri. Artikel ini cukup juga untuk kita memikirkan bagaimana cara-cara agar gen z bisa hidup tanpa bergantung pada orangtua dan agar orangtua lansia bisa menikmati hari tuanya tanpa memikirkan pekerjaan apalagi untuk memenuhi kebutuhan gen z.
BalasHapusMungkin sebagian lansia masih bekerja karena membiayai anaknya yang termasuk gen z masih bersekolah ataupun berkuliah dan belum memiliki penghasilan pribadi sehingga belum dapat membantu keuangan dalam keluarganya. Tapi disisi lain terkadang juga ada karena orangtuanya pun tidak terlalu memaksa untuk bekerja karena mungkin dari keluarga yang berkecukupan membuat sebagian dari gen z ini malas untuk memiliki penghasilannya sendiri
BalasHapuslansia yang masih bekerja untuk menopang hidup itu bisa dibagi beberapa aspek, hal ini terjadi mungkin karna adanya tekanan ekonomi yang tinggi contohnya seperti biaya kehidupan yang kian makin menaik membuat para lansia harus bekerja selain itu adanya kesenjangan sosial dan pendidikan yang membuat generasi Z mungkin menghadapi tantangan yang berbeda dengan generasi sebelumnya contohnya seperti kesenjangan pendidikan dan akses kerja yang berkualitas, maka dari itu kita sebagai generasi Z harus mampu lebih mandiri agar tidak bergantung kepada orang tua dan mencari relasi seluas mungkin agar kita mendapatkan pekerjaan yang lebih baik dimasa yang akan datang.
BalasHapusIn my neighborhood there are quite a lot like that, old but still working for their children in the village
BalasHapusAs a Gen Z person, istg i didnt know abt the small details abt this gen, thanks!
BalasHapus
