Translated:

1. Own a small and happy family (56.19%)

2. Own a lot of asset and money (43.81%)

3. Becoming Entrepreneur (35.84%)

4. High level of career in big companies with high salary (28.32%)

5. Getting higher education degree ( 19.47%)

This is a multiple option, we want Gen Y respondent to pick all conditions apply to their future expectation of success.

Our first eyesight has came to the highest voted answer one. Having a small and happy family is considered as most applicable condition for future success expectation a little more valuable than owning lots of money or asset. Slightly, money isn’t everything for Gen Y.

Secondly, we can see that becoming entrepreneur got higher votes than having a high level of career in big companies with big salary. We might conclude that Gen Y shows high interest in entrepreneurship, and that is a good news for the country 😉

Looking at our XLS report , we can compare answers between male and female.
