Only a fifth of Britons think their careers should come first in their lives, the study found. Research also found millennials have become more sceptical about prioritising work.
Workers in the UK are some of the least job orientated people in the world, according to a new study.
Overall, 73% of Britons polled in the World Values Survey said work was an important part of their lives - compared to 96% in Italy and 94% in France. Between 1981 and 2022, the share of the British public who said it would be a good thing if less importance was placed on work rose from 26% to 43%. Professor Bobby Duffy, director of the Policy Institute at King's College London, said:"Older generations are more likely to say work should be prioritised, even as it becomes less important in their own lives as they move into retirement.
