Changing prevalence of psychosocial occupational stressors and their impact on employee mental health across birth cohorts
Not only do employees increasingly view work as demanding, but the negative impact of this on younger employee mental health is greater, while younger workers benefit less from workplace autonomy than previous cohorts. These findings, compounding mental health trends in adolescents, will result in younger generations of employees at greater risk of mental illness unless employers, insurers and regulators adapt.
