Young employees are losing interest in their jobs
A surprising finding has emerged from a new survey by PwC, one of the world’s leading professional services firms. The survey reveals that in the past 12 months, one-quarter of young employees in the UK have considered quitting their jobs due to mental health issues. Source: The Register
The survey also found that 10% of employees have actively considered quitting their jobs for a long period. As a result, the number of people receiving sickness or disability benefits is increasing, which is considered a significant economic burden for the UK government.
Over 3,000 employees from more than 300 companies participated in this survey. It revealed that an additional 20% of workers of various ages had thought about quitting their jobs in the past year. Moreover, employees under the age of 35 are more likely to consider quitting compared to other age groups. The main reason cited by them is mental health issues.
Meanwhile, last year, the level of economic inactivity reached a record 9.4 million, which accounts for nearly 22% of the working-age adult population.
Economic inactivity refers to a situation where working-age individuals are neither available nor interested in working and are not engaged in any employment. This includes those who are not actively seeking jobs, not applying for work, or are unable to work due to physical or mental reasons.
