00:30In the case in entering the labor market, a critical variable is now emerging.
00:34The divorce between rigid business structures and the expectations of flexibility among job seekers under 25.
00:41The business leaders we interviewed agree that young people are massively rejecting full-time in-person work days.
00:48The famous 8 to 5 p.m. schedule.
00:50These young people are demanding hybrid schedules with a maximum of three hours of in-person work per day and prioritizing autonomy over established minimum wages.
01:01This phenomenon is no coincidence.
01:03The COVID pandemic accelerated an irreversible transformation.
01:07While companies and universities adopted hybrid models and shortened program lengths, digital natives internalized that productivity does not depend on physical presence.
01:17Some companies, especially manufacturing ones, are reporting unfilled vacancies because young applicants consider these offers unattractive and unprofitable.
01:26The conflict is not one of youthful laziness or corporate inflexibility.
01:30We are witnessing a paradigm shift.
01:33It is necessary to open a dialogue table involving the Ministry of Labor, youth associations, and business chambers to seek bold alternatives to this situation.
01:42Adapting is not giving in.
01:44It is understanding that the fourth industrial revolution requires redesigning work, not workers.
