With the availability of online tools and resources to launch one's own business, there's nothing stopping the millennial from basing an entire venture on a leisurely interest. This presents a challenge for those looking to hire from this youth generation in that Gen Y is more able than any other generation to only do what they love, so offerings from employers must tap into one's true passion.

2. Gamification of Workspaces - Workspaces are infusing elements of play and gaming to inspire creativity and productivity.
3. Co-living and Co-working Spaces - Shared living and working spaces are becoming more affordable, accessible and luxurious, perfect for young, urban professionals.
