Early Findings
According to MBO Partners, digital nomads are a "population of independent workers who choose to embrace a
location-independent
, technology-enabled lifestyle that allows them to
travel and work remotely
, anywhere in the world".
Research conducted by MBO Partners found that "
4.8 million
independent workers currently describe themselves as digital nomads".
The study also found that
17 million
independent workers aspire to become nomadic someday.
One-third
of the total population of digital nomads are female. Also,
54%
of this population are
more than 38 years
old.
One in six
digital nomads earn over
$75,000
annually. Among this group, there is a relatively even split between full-time and part-time workers, accounting for
54%
and
46%
respectively.
According to estimates by Pieter Levels, there will be
one billion
digital nomads by 2035.
