The stress is slightly greater in young women. Of them, 23 percent say they experience stress, in men and boys this is 18 percent. The biggest concern for the young employees is that they expect too much of themselves. In addition, they are afraid to make mistakes and sometimes find their work too difficult. A quarter of those surveyed indicate that work stress has increased as a result of the corona crisis.
