Will the gig economy take over as Singapore's Gen Z workforce matures?

SINGAPORE (Apr 20): Singapore’s Generation Z (Gen Z) workers, namely those born between 1995 and 2009, are more likely to seek temporary employment over permanent full-time positions than all other age groups in the city state.

This is according to a recent APAC Workforce Insights survey commissioned by recruitment company PERSOLKELLY, a joint venture between PERSOL Group and Kelly Services.

Based on the survey findings, almost two-thirds of Gen Z respondents in Singapore agreed that more jobseekers are pursuing contract-based roles rather than permanent full-time ones, which is 30 percentage points higher than the average of other age groups combined.
