There is a growing number of Thais who prefer non-traditional ways of working rather than being a salary man sitting in an office full-time. The Office of National Economic and Social Development Council (NESDC) reported this week that more than 2 million Thais are doing NextGen work and the number is rising.

In the latest socio-economic survey in the third quarter of this year, NESDC found that Generation Y, or those born between 1981-2001, engages in NextGen work more than other demographic groups. One third of Gen Y individuals have chosen to work in a more casual way, including part-time or freelancing.

NextGen Work is described as people who opt for alternative models over traditional, full-time, permanent job. The rise of NextGen work is evident worldwide as the new generation prefer different lifestyle from their predecessors.
