A corporate job isn’t the only path to success. Here’s where to look next | Anuj Tanna

All right, so get a degree, get a job, build your future. No matter where you're from, it's like page one of the universal parenting handbook. And if you grew up with parents anything like mine, you knew it was one of those casual, non-negotiable suggestions that they had for you.

Mutta ei kuitenkaan, mitÀ vanhemmat sanoisivat, se on menetelmÀ, joka ei vÀlttÀmÀttÀ pysy niin paljon. Ei tÀÀllÀ Keniassa, eikÀ maailmassa. Joka kuukausi yli miljoona nuoria aloittaa työyhteisöÀ Suomessa ja Afrikassa. ViimeisimmÀt kuin yli neljÀ saa avautua normaaliin työyhteisöön. Ja ensimmÀisenÀ se nÀyttÀÀ paljon kuin kriisi. TÀmmöinen työllinen generaatiota. Oikeastaan olin nÀhnyt sitÀ myös niin.

I'm a third generation East African. I've always believed in the power of business and technology to fuel development. For the longest time, I thought that meant one thing, helping to create formal jobs. But after more than a decade of working with young people here in Kenya, I started to see something very different, right? People like Kelvin running his cybercafe. Or Melissa with her hair salon. Or

mercy with her auto repair shop. And the thing is, they are not outliers. They're part of this powerful engine. Millions of young people contributing over 540 million dollars a month into Kenya's economy.

Informaattinen ekonomi on alkuperÀinen jÀrjestelmÀ. 85 prosenttia ihmisistÀ Suomessa ja 60 prosenttia maailmallisesta työntekijöistÀ on saavutettu. Viime vuosina muutamia kollegoita ja minÀ pÀÀtimme tulla takaisin ja kysyÀ eri kysymyksiÀ. Ei, miten saamme ihmisiÀ ulos informaattisesta ekonomiasta, vaan mitÀ, jos investoimme niihin ja auttaisimme niiden kasvamaan tarkemmin ja tasaisesti?

And that's what led us to build MeSH in 2021. It's this platform to help this hustle economy grow. It's a professional social network where today more than 800,000 micro-entrepreneurs come to connect and learn and trade and access a marketplace of opportunities each month.

As we built MESH, we started to see these patterns and behaviors start to emerge that often challenged some of our long-held assumptions, but also revealed some of the levers that really drive growth in the informal economy. And so I wanted to take this opportunity to share three of our big lessons with you today, because if we're serious about building a sustainable future, we can't ignore the billions navigating the informal sector.

Eli ensimmÀinen ja todennÀköisesti mahdollisimman hieno asia, jota olemme oppineet, on se, ettÀ ilmastonmuutoksen vahvistamisen vahvistamisen vahvistamisen vahvistaminen on identiteetti. Nuoret ovat olleet kertoneet yllÀttÀvÀn hyödyllistÀ tarinaa suurin piirtein elÀmÀnsÀ. TÀmÀ onnistuminen tarkoittaa, ettÀ onnistuminen tarkoittaa, ettÀ onnistuminen tarkoittaa, ettÀ onnistuminen tarkoittaa, ettÀ onnistuminen tarkoittaa, ettÀ onnistuminen tarkoittaa, ettÀ onnistuminen tarkoittaa, ettÀ onnistuminen tarkoittaa, ettÀ onnistuminen tarkoittaa, ettÀ onnistuminen tarkoittaa.

But when identity shifts, behavior shifts, so when they stop seeing themselves as unemployed or jobless, and actually as entrepreneurs, things change, and pretty quickly. So take Brian. Brian studied to be a teacher, but he spent years bouncing between gigs. And he will be the first to tell you he never saw himself as someone who could run a business.

One day he was chatting with a connection he made on the platform, a woman named Eunice. At some point she said, honestly, Brian, just why not business? Something eventually just clicked for him. He said, I started admiring her business. I thought maybe I could do that too. And so he did. He started small, selling fruit, then donuts, then he moved into charcoal. Today Brian is running three small businesses, and he's saving up for his own permanent stall. And

Brian wasn't alone. When we started measuring this more closely, we were blown away by just how powerful this shift in identity could actually be. 78% of our MeSH-members were telling us that they had either started a brand new business or improved by adding to an existing one, often within just a couple of months of signing up for the platform. And amongst that group, the number earning more than national minimum wage, more than doubled.

Kun nÀen itseÀni erilaisena, toimitan erilaisena. Kun se tapahtuu ystÀvillemme, se vaihtoehto voi usein olla vaikuttavaa. Toinen iso koulutus oli oikeastaan siitÀ, miten on tÀrkeÀÀ suunnitella todellista maailmaa. Minulla on parin esimerkki siitÀ, miten menemme koulutuksen kehittÀmiseen.

Suurin piirtein informaattisen ekonomin tarkoitus on, ettÀ kasvatukset nÀyttÀvÀt siltÀ kuin jÀrjestelmÀÀ. Tutkita kovasti, saa tutkimuksen. KÀytÀ sitÀ, jotta saa työtÀ, rakentaa kohdallisuudet ja liittyÀ eteenpÀin. KoulutusjÀrjestelmÀt ovat kuitenkin suunniteltuja, jotka sopivat tÀhÀn. LÀmpimÀt kurssit, moduulit, tutkimukset, normaaleja koulutusjÀrjestelmiÀ. Niin se on kuitenkin kohdannut.

Ongelma on, ettÀ se ei ole niin, kuinka kasvatukset todella tapahtuvat informaalisen ekonomin kanssa. Kasvatukset ovat usein tÀysin ei-linjaaleja. Ne ovat tarkoittaneet nopeasti muuttuneista tarpeista tai uusista mahdollisuuksista, joita pitÀisi aloittaa. Se nÀyttÀÀ paljon vÀhemmÀn kuin jÀrvi, ja se nÀyttÀÀ paljon paremmin kuin metsÀtyö.

YstÀvÀni esimerkki tÀstÀ on Caroline. Caroline opiskeli analytiallisessa kemisteriössÀ, mutta ei pystynyt löytÀmÀÀn työtÀ. HÀn aloitti yrityksen tuomioon ja saati rahaa. Kulutus ei ollut hÀnen tehtÀvÀnsÀ, mutta hÀn nÀki uuden mahdollisuuden, jota hÀn todella rakastaisi, eli kevÀt. HÀn investoi yhdellÀ kuukaudella uudistuvaan koulutukseen, ja hÀn meni siihen.

She built a business. She picked up pricing tips from other meshers. She learned digital marketing skills to build and grow her online sales. When she needed to, she picked up basic bookkeeping to help her manage her cash flow. Today Caroline's a full-time entrepreneur, but she didn't climb a ladder. She moved across this jungle gym one business and one pivot at a time. And all along the way, she invested in the skills she needed to keep her growing.

We saw this happening all across the platform. Young people were not engaging with our formal learning tools, but their incomes were growing.

Eli 66 prosenttia meidÀn meshurista kertoo meille, ettÀ he ovat oppineet uutta taitoa, joka on parantanut heidÀn yrityksensÀ platformissa, mutta ei kurssista, vaan usein ympÀristöstÀ. Toinen mikroentrepreneursi, vain kaksi kertaa eteenpÀin, kertoisi, mitÀ he olisivat ymmÀrtÀneet. Ja oppiminen itse asiassa on niin kÀytÀnnössÀ, se on niin nopea. Se on kuin 90 sekunnin video, jossa katsotaan, kuinka maksaa rikkoja, tai ryhmÀkeskustelu, jossa katsotaan, kuinka viedÀ vettÀ agribusineissa.

Yksi suosittelijamme, miksi huonoja lupauksia on paljon kuin huonoja ystÀviÀ, ja miten nÀhdÀ vihreÀt lupaukset. TÀmÀ oppiminen nÀyttÀÀ vain todellista elÀmÀÀ. Toinen koulutus on melko tÀrkeÀ. Se puhuu uskontoa.

In the informal economy there are no contracts or insurance policies or formal protections. If a deal goes wrong, it's on you. Take Alfine. Alfine trained to be a photographer. She saved up painstakingly to get her first camera. And one day a client reached out, they paid a deposit, it seemed legitimate. She showed up for the shoot and within minutes her gear was stolen.
