2016年，在美国，自由职业者的比例已超过了5300万人，希拉里在演讲时说，美国自由职业者占职场数量的三分之一，并有望在2020年达到50%。据统计，美国在2014-2015年间，远程工作数量就增长了27%，每5个人中就有2个是在线上完成了工作。

斜杠青年来源于英文Slash，出自《纽约时报》专栏作家麦瑞克·阿尔伯撰写的书籍《双重职业》，指的是一群不再满足“专一职业”的生活方式，而选择拥有多重职业和身份的多元生活的人群。

这些人在自我介绍中会用斜杠来区分，例如，张扬，记者/演员/摄影师，“斜杠”便成了他们的代名词。 

斜杠青年越来越流行，已成为年轻人热衷的生活方式。

斜杠青年的出现并非偶然，而是社会发展的必然现象，也是进步的体现。这种进步使人类摆脱“工业革命”带来的限制和束缚，释放天性。 [1] 

自主、多元又有趣的，在经济独立的情况下，享受自己理想的生活与职业。相对枯燥单一的职业来说较为自由随性。 

后工业时代

在后工业时代，服务业成为最大的产业，服务业不涉及生产，交换的大多为个人技能、知识和时间，不存在大规模生产，没有很长的产业链，不需大规模合作。个人就成为了独立的服务提供商，互联网的发展又为此提供了很好的支撑，帮助供需方解决信息不对称问题，让大量技能拥有者摆脱机构的束缚，直接为用户提供服务。

人才时代

人类已跨入知识和创造力的跨界时代，人才成为生产要素中最重要的部分。资金作为重要生产要素的时期已一去不复返，硅谷的崛起使老牌的全球500强企业黯然失色，世界的聚光灯迅速转移到了充满活力和激情的科技公司。当互联网的基础搭建完成，所有点都被连接在一起，拼内容的时代来临，最终的价值创造需依靠能产出高品质内容，创造出有真正需求的产品和服务的人。

个人化经济组织方式

经济组织方式发生了变革，集中在固定时间和场所的传统工作逐渐被松散，被合作式的方式取代。

资本经济时代的管理理念是，雇员们需被严格管理，在固定的时间和场所做无聊的重复劳动。这在知识和创造力时代已行不通，因为人只有在自主和自我驱动的状态下才能拥有最大的创造力。事实上，组织创新已在硅谷如火如荼地进行。在那里，员工有着极大的自由选择与谁工作，参与什么项目，在哪里工作以及何时工作。

雇佣与合作最大的区别就是利润分配。资本强势时，企业产生的大部分利润必然归资本方，然而当人才成为关键资源，其稀缺性会推动价格上涨，利润也将会从资本方转移到人才方，直到达到合理分配，即合作状态下的利润分配。

2016年，在美国，自由职业者的比例已超过了5300万人，希拉里在演讲时说，美国自由职业者占职场数量的三分之一，并有望在2020年达到50%。据统计，美国在2014-2015年间，远程工作数量就增长了27%，每5个人中就有2个是在线上完成了工作。

有机构预测，未来全球自由职业市场规模可能达到3万亿元左右。这就意味着，在未来的职场中，员工可能大部分都成为自由职业者，而非受雇于单一组织，而这一现象在目前已并不鲜见。在互联网发展突飞猛进的今天，由于技术帮助供需双方解决了信息不对称的问题，使得人们的角色变化更为便利。

在国内兴起了诸如旅游服务、教育、运动健身、美食等平台，使得很多拥有相关技能的人摆脱机构的束缚，直接为用户提供服务。职场人员成为多种属性的拥有者，他们可以被多家企业所雇佣，甚至可能在一家大公司做技术的同时，也在为多家小公司做产品、做运营、做行政、做HR等。 

85后为主

斜杠青年的出现，颠覆了单一雇佣制的劳动模式，让人力资源流动起来，达到了充分、可重复的利用。也带来了对现有组织运作方式、组织吸引人才的手段乃至社保体系的颠覆。

互联网时代正在深刻地改变着人类的命运，现在的年轻人不用靠拼家庭背景、拼财力和人脉，完全凭借自身的实力和才华就能取得成功。而要想获得这种实力，需要有扎实的知识功底和多重的技能储备，这就需要对自己进行“自我投资”。 

多重职业释放天性

“斜杠青年”的出现并非偶然，而是社会发展的必然现象，也是进步的体现。这种进步使人类摆脱“工业革命”带来的限制和束缚，释放天性。

在原始社会，人类的生存环境危险多变，必须训练随机应变的能力和全面的生存技能，发展和运用不同技能。生存环境决定了人类天性喜欢多元生活，喜欢用不同技能来应对新挑战。

农业社会和工业社会把人类限制在固定的土地和工作场所，从事不具挑战性的重复劳动。专业化成了这个时代的理所当然。不论是学校教育还是职业发展，人们都努力让自己变得越来越专业，以便成为产业链中的“螺丝钉”。

自我投资过上多元生活

随着新时代的来临，整个社会对知识的渴望和崇拜将极度高涨，这给知识型人才带来巨大机会，各类自媒体的风生水起，年轻人不再需要拼家庭背景、人脉或财力，而是通过自身实力和才华获得成功。

这个时代最重要的投资是“自我投资”，只要你拥有扎实的知识功底、才华或技能，就可以拥有多重职业和身份，成为“斜杠青年”中的一员，过上一种自主、多元和有趣，同时又能经济独立的生活。 

做想做的事，而不只是赚钱的事

每一个领域的切入都应是兴趣导向，而非金钱导向。尤其是新领域新技能不熟练不纯熟时。技能需要历练，经验需要累积。在开拓新领域初期，将不赚钱甚至赔钱，只有自己对这一领域的足够兴趣，才能坚持到收获的那一天。 

自由职业者：

数据显示，2020年，美国将近50%工作人员是自由职业者

另一方面，大量数据表明，人工智能将要在未来让超过90%的工作机会消失。就业机会将成为未来的一大刚需。最大的几家社交平台，FACEBOOK, LINKEDIN, GROUPON,的市场加起来超过100亿美元，而这几家公司所雇用的员工总数不超过3万人。

未来学家、前IBM资深工程师，THOMAS FREY在他的新书《communicating with the future》中观察，2030年，超过50%的工作机会将消失，30岁以前职场人，今天所做的工作不足10个，而到2030年，人们所从事过的工作项目将达到200~300个！我们的经济社会将成为一个项目制的工作场景。

因此，自由职业和短期工作不是一个短期现象，而将成为一个长期趋势。

美国人口共3.2亿,其中超过5000万劳动人口参与零工经济。美国人口普查局和国税局的数字显示,服务业总产值高达一万亿美元,且将在未来五年中伴随着科技降低准入门槛而快速增长。

中国拥有超过13亿人口,GDP总量达11万亿美元,8亿劳动人口中有36%从事服务行业。40%的劳动力(即37亿人)在城市就业。20%在“其他企业类型”中工作,即自由职业者和非派遣员工10,其中,3%在家政服务业工作,5%在建筑业工作,9%在其他行业工作(均指占城市雇佣劳动力的比重)。这意味着个8400万劳动力、5000亿美元的市场。

此外,中国还经历着大规模农民工数量增长(主要在私有部门工作),大规模城镇化和私有部门的快速增长。中国的智能手机普及率达到40%。保守估计中国市场价值高达5000亿美元。

你难道不需要多了解一下斜杠青年职业和自由职业吗？
