According to the K&H youth index, the proportion of young people who considered their jobs stable in the first quarter of this year was 47 percent, which is a relatively low level in the survey’s more than decade-long history. Among working young people aged 19-29, four out of ten feel valued at their workplace, which does not mean progress compared to the previous period.

There is still plenty of room for improvement in the perception of the workplace among young workers – this is what the K&H youth index survey found in the first quarter of this year.

Only 20 percent of employed 19-29-year-olds said their current job was particularly stable, and another 27 percent felt it was rather stable. This means that less than half of those affected, 47 percent, consider their jobs quite stable. Based on the previous results of the survey, it appears that this relatively low ratio corresponds to the result of the previous quarters, but in the longer term, since the end of 2021, it means a weaker value. At the end of the 2010s, much better results were achieved: there were regular quarters above 60 percent, and on two occasions, at the end of 2017 and in the second quarter of 2020, we can even see a value exceeding 70 percent.
