The common job-hopping attitude among Gen Z workers shows their "readiness" for work.
"Ang mga kabataan talaga ngayon ay may tendency na lumipat from one employment to another (Young people today really have a tendency to move from one employment to another)," Department of Labor and Employment Undersecretary Benjo Benavidez said.
"Ang mga kabataan ngayon ay mabilis ang kanilang kasanayan, mabilis ma-improve. Pero makikita natin na dahil dito, ibig sabihin mas maraming trabaho sa merkado ang pwede mapuntahan (Today's young people are quick to learn new skills, quick to improve. But what we also see here is that, there are many jobs available in the market)," he explained.
According to a study conducted by ResumeLab, 83 percent of Gen Z consider themselves job hoppers or workers who frequently switch jobs.
Based on the study, 43 percent of Gen Z respondents said they would stay with a current employer for two years, while 22 percent said they would stay for three years.
Thirteen percent said they would stay for years or more with their employers.
Benavidez said they are also looking at the capacity of employers to maintain their employees, as well as the social protection and social security provided to them.
"So ang tinitingnan na isang polisiya ng pamahalaan, una, papaano makakahanap ng dekalidad na trabaho ang mga bata nating empleyado (So what is being looked at as a government policy is, first, how can our young employees find quality jobs)," Benevidez noted.
"At pangalawa, in the long run, paano natin masisiguro ang social protection nila pagdating nang sila ay nasa tamang edad na mag-retire (And second, in the long run, how can we ensure their social protection when they reach the right age to retire)," he added.
