Poll: Do younger workers have reason to feel more stressed?

People under the age of 30 are far more likely to experience work-related stress than their parents’ generation, according to the results of new survey. Do you think they have good reason to feel that way?

PEOPLE UNDER THE age of 30 are far more likely to experience work-related stress than their parents’ generation, according to the results of new survey.

More than half of respondents (55 per cent) said that work-related stress was a significant factor in their lives, according to the survey commissioned the manufacturers of Multibionta. Some 51 per cent cited financial problems as a reason for stress, while almost a third admitted that they had relationship worries.

However, those aged under 30 were also more likely to call in sick to work – usually for reasons like feeling tired or run down – while 85 per cent of the over-55s said they would not call in sick unless they were bedridden.

What do you think : do younger workers have reason to feel more stressed than their parents’ generation?


Poll Results:

Yes, contemporary work environments are generally more stressful (617)
No, the same level of workplace stress exists now as did then (182)
I don't know (66)
