A new study has shown that sixty-five percent of young Australians already own a business or intend to start one after the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted their career plans.
The web-hosting company GoDaddy surveyed 1,002 Australians aged 18 to 24 and found that 57 percent of them had changed their work priorities due to the travel restrictions and lockdowns implemented during the past two years.
Additionally, nearly half of the respondents (49 percent) had to change their career or education plans during the pandemic.
At the same time, one in eight young people was operating their own businesses, and another one-fifth expected to kick off their ventures within 12 months.
