A recent survey by China Youth Daily shows that 2,454 respondents aged from 18 to 35,?85.5% of young Chinese?are willing to take up side jobs, and nearly 12% have already had one in addition to their full-time work.

Nearly 82% of the respondents find that more young people are taking up side jobs,?with popular?choices including online business, being internet celebrities(網(wǎng)紅), and selling courses.

The attitude toward having side jobs varies among young people. About 72% believe that side jobs provide more possibilities, while 63.5% said that side jobs enrich spiritual life and offer a more colorful life outside work.

However, some young people think the standards for establishing a side business are low — they start casually, doing whatever job they want, even if it may not be suitable for them. “If you want to be successful in your side job, you must do effective market research and understand how your skills fit in the market.” an?expert?suggested.

“Flexible employment is a very useful supplement to traditional formal employment, and it can absorb more labor and provide more choices for solving national employment issues.” Wang Ting, a University professor, told China Youth Daily.
