Briefly

The article discusses the phenomenon of side hustles among young people, particularly in Australia, where a new report analyzes the implications of these entrepreneurial activities. Despite being presented as a way to achieve financial freedom and combat youth unemployment, the study reveals a lack of understanding of who engages in side hustles and their true impact on working life. The research surveyed 1,497 individuals aged 18 to 34, questioning the effectiveness of side hustles as a solution for economic challenges youth face today.
