Representatives of Generation Y and Z described the sacrifices they are willing to make for the sake of their careers. This is evidenced by the results of a survey of the Superjob service. Generation Z includes people born in 1997-2012, generation Y – born in 1981-1996.
For example, 28 percent of Gen Z survey participants said that they are ready to give up entertainment and recreation, a quarter (25 percent) agree to communicate less with friends, and 24 – to postpone having a child and starting a family. Older people – from generation Y – are ready to move to another city (29 percent), but later only 12 percent of respondents will decide to have children.
The survey involved 500 representatives of generations Y and Z, as well as 500 Russians who have made a leadership career. The unifying factor for both age groups was the willingness to overwork: 22 percent of Generation Z and 18 percent of Generation Y agreed to work 12-16 hours a day. Both groups do not agree to live in difficult living conditions for the sake of work (4 percent of Generation Z and 6 – from generation Y).
Earlier in March, the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) analytical company provided the results of a study from which it follows that against the background of the development of remote work, 59 percent of Russians surveyed expressed interest in working for a foreign company not represented in Russia, while remaining at home.
Readiness to move now directly depends on the epidemiological situation. The leaders of the new rating are the countries that are successfully coping with the spread of coronavirus: Canada, Australia and Japan.
