Created by [Fiverr](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/other-angles-collection), the chart 'How Millennials are Redefining the Future of Work' also covers freelancing at length. Often described as the most tech-savvy generation in history, millennials are beginning to have and will continue to heavily influence business. One way they are doing this is by having [freelance careers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gigchampion). 1/4 millennials are turning to independent work when they are unable to find traditional jobs. By 2020 it is expected that 40% will be freelancers. Currently 70% would consider it because many feel more appreciated for their work and it allows them more flexibility and work/life balance. The millennial infographic contains many interesting workforce statistics. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 84% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/life) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Freelance Gig Economy:** The rise of millennials in independent work and the projected increase in freelance careers present opportunities for disruptive innovation in the gig economy. - **Tech-savvy Workforce:** The tech-savvy nature of millennials creates opportunities for disruptive innovation in industries that cater to their digital skills and preferences. - **Work-life Balance:** The increasing desire for work-life balance among millennials presents opportunities for disruptive innovation in industries that promote flexible work arrangements and employee well-being. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Gig Economy Platforms:** The growth of freelance careers calls for disruptive innovation in platforms that connect freelancers with clients and offer value-added services for both parties. - **Technology and Digital Services:** The tech-savviness of millennials creates opportunities for disruptive innovation in industries that provide digital products, software solutions, and online services tailored to their needs. - **Human Resources and Workforce Solutions:** The emphasis on work-life balance among millennials calls for disruptive innovation in industries that offer flexible work arrangements, employee wellness programs, and talent management strategies. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Freelancer Lifestyle Organization Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cluee-platform.md) - [Gen Z Whitepapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gen-z-in-action.md) - [Gen Z-Coded Design Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canva-chronically-online.md) - [Creativity Enhancing WFH Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/other-angles-collection.md) - [Diverse Job Connection Platform](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flexrem.md) - [Educational Freelancer Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/online-learning-platform.md) - [Decentralized Gig Economy Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gig-economy-platform.md) - [Musical AI Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fiverr-nobody-cares.md) - [Future Work Blogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/worqstrap.md)
