More young South Africans have turned to side hustles over the past six months to earn extra income, new data from online market research company InfoQuest/TrendER shows.
The latest survey also established the incidence of hustling in other age groups. Those in the 35–49-year-old age category had the lowest level of hustling at 15%, while about one in five of those aged 50 years and older indicated that they were earning income from more than one source.
“Younger individuals may be more willing to do this as they have fewer responsibilities and have more time on their hands, but we are also seeing that older South Africans are engaging in the ‘hustling’ trend. We will continue to monitor this over the next year,” said Heckrath. The survey sampled a relatively small grouping of 300 working South Africans, where 5% of the respondents said they have already applied for residency in another country, have been accepted and will emigrate soon.
