Kule minyaka imbalwa idlulileyo sivile okuninzi malunga nokungafani kunye nokwahlukana phakathi kwezizukulwana-bafuna ntoni, balufumana njani ulwazi lwabo, kwaye njani kwaye kutheni behamba nje. IGen Z ithatha ulwazi ngokukhawuleza nangokubonakalayo, kwaye bayakhawuleza ukunyaniseka kwiindawo, uphawu okanye izimvo. Umnqweno weMillennials wamava ngaphezulu kwezinto uye wabumba kwaye wakhuthaza uqoqosho lokwabelana. Ukusebenza nzima kukaGen Xers kugxile kusapho kwaye bafuna ukuphumla kunye nokuphumla. Kwaye ngaphandle kokuhlazisa "Okay Boomer", I-Baby Boomers iphindwe kabini ekwabelaneni ngelifa lokuhamba kunye namalungu osapho kwaye bazimisele ngakumbi ukutyala imali ekulandeleleni ilifa lemveli, ukuya kwezo "ndawo zebhakethi" ukuya kwiindawo, kunye nokuntywila kumava okuhamba.
Kodwa, njengoko sifika kwisigaba sokubuyisela Covid-19 ubhubhane kwiiveki neenyanga ezizayo, sonke siyakuba namava ekwabelwana ngawo kwilizwe liphela. Sonke ngoku siyinxalenye yesiGaba C-isizukulwana sasemva kwe-COVID. I-GEN-C iyakuchazwa lutshintsho ekuhlaleni kwengqondo eya kuthi itshintshe indlela esijonga ngayo-kwaye senze-izinto ezininzi. Kwaye kwinto ethi ibe luqoqosho lwethu "olutsha oluqhelekileyo" i-GEN-C izakuvela kumakhaya ethu. Ukuphambuka emva koluntu, siza kubuyela e-ofisini nasezindaweni zokusebenza, kwaye ekugqibeleni sibuyele kwilizwe eliya kubandakanya ukubona abahlobo kunye nosapho, mhlawumbi iintlanganiso ezincinci; uqikelelo lwemisitho yenkcubeko nezemidlalo; kwaye ekugqibeleni kuhambo lwe-GEN-C.
Kwaye ukubuyela kukhenketho kubalulekile kuqoqosho lwehlabathi. Kwilizwe liphela, ezokuhamba kunye neakhawunti yokhenketho ye-11% ye-GDP yehlabathi kwaye idala ngaphezulu kwama-320 ezigidi zemisebenzi kubasebenzi abakhonza abahambi abayi-1.4 yeebhiliyoni ngonyaka. Kwaye la manani akathethi lonke ibali. Ziyinxalenye nje yoqoqosho oludibeneyo lwehlabathi apho ukuhamba nokhenketho kungumthombo wobomi — amacandelo asuka kubuchwepheshe, ukwakhiwa kweendwendwe, ezemali, nezolimo konke kuxhomekeke kukhenketho.
Kusekho imibuzo emininzi engaphendulwanga. Yintoni le intsha? Siza kusuka nini kwingxaki siye kulungisa kwakhona? Ngaba le fom ithatha isicwangciso sokuphuma emva kwe-COVID? Yintoni ekufuneka siyenzile ngaphambi kokuba i-GEN-C iphinde ihambe kwakhona? Zeziphi iitekhnoloji, idatha kunye neeprotokholi eziyimfuneko kuthi njenge-GEN-Cs zisenza sizive sikhuselekile kwakhona?
Kodwa nangona sikwimeko yokuphambuka eluntwini, idatha zakwangoko zibonisa ukuba umnqweno wokuhamba usekho. Njengabantu sinqwenela amava amatsha kunye novuyo lokuhamba. Ukuhamba kongeza kakhulu kwisigqi kunye nobutyebi bobomi bethu. Ke, njenge-GEN-C sifuna indlela eya phambili.
Alithandabuzeki elokuba ukhenketho luphakathi kwamacandelo athwaxwe kanobom yile ngxaki, kodwa ikwalombindi wokubuyela kwimeko yesiqhelo. Amazwe oqoqosho olomelele kakhulu aza kube eqhuba ukubuyela kwimeko yesiqhelo, kwaye ukhenketho nokhenketho luya kuba luphindaphindo-kunye nenjini yengqesho kuwo onke amacandelo. Isinyanzeliso kwihlabathi liphela kukuba sisebenzisane kumacandelo onke, kwimimandla yonke, ukwenza isikhokelo esinokunceda ekusombululeni umceli mngeni wehlabathi jikelele wendlela yokuqalisa ngokutsha uqoqosho nokhenketho.
IJamaica inembono eyahlukileyo kukomelela- ukukwazi ukuphola ngokukhawuleza kwiimeko ezinzima. Njengesizwe esisisiqithi, bekusoloko kufuneka sicinge malunga nokomelela. Isiqithi siyindida kuba ngeendlela ezininzi sisengozini ngakumbi kunamanye amazwe — zibone inyikima etshabalalisayo yaseHaiti, ukutshatyalaliswa kwePuerto Rico yiNkanyamba uMaria - kodwa ngeendlela ezininzi ukuba sisiqithi kunika amandla kunye nokukwazi ukwenza ngobuchule.
Kunyaka ophelileyo, sisebenza neDyunivesithi yaseWest Indies saseka iZiko loKomeleza uKhenketho kwiHlabathi liphela kunye neZiko loLawulo lweCrisis kwaye ngokukhawuleza sakhulisa amaziko oodade kwihlabathi liphela. Ngomhla ka-Meyi eli ziko liza kubamba indibano ebonakalayo kunye neqela elineengcali ezivela kwihlabathi liphela eziza kwabelana ngezimvo kunye nezisombululo kwimiba ebalulekileyo ekuqaliseni ngokutsha uhambo lwe-GEN-C kunye noqoqosho lwezokhenketho. Sisonke siza kusebenza ukufumana izisombululo zetekhnoloji, ukuphuculwa kweziseko zophuhliso, uqeqesho, imigaqo-nkqubo ebalulekileyo ekujonganeni nempilo nokhuseleko, ezothutho, indawo ekuyiwa kuyo kunye nendlela epheleleyo yokomelela kukhenketho.
Umngeni omtsha ekwabelwana ngawo kwihlabathi liphela ufuna izisombululo ekwabelwana ngazo, kwaye sizimisele ukufumana indlela eya phambili. Isizukulwana sethu sonke sixhomekeke kuyo.
