New Delhi: Throughout the pandemic, learning models and businesses centred on learning have become decentralized. There’s a significant shift away from traditional jobs. According to recent research, 29% of the US upcoming graduates want to become creators, and only 11% want to go down the typical career path. This isn’t just happening in the US, Asia is far ahead of the curve. The pandemic has led to a massive rise in the average daily internet usage during the lockdowns, which also meant an explosion in the number of new content creators globally. Globally, there are currently around 50 million creators of which more than 48 million are amateur content creators and about 2 million identify as Professional content creators. LinkedIn News estimates that creators on its platform increased by 40% as compared to 2019 and premium job listings for creators increased by a staggering 220% over the last year.
