Antiwork

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Nearly one-fifth of British people in the study said that work was not important in their life, the highest proportion among the 24 countries, which included France, Sweden, the US, Nigeria, Japan and China.

Britons were also among the least likely to say that work should always come first over leisure time, according to the research by the Policy Institute at King’s College London.

While most generations’ opinions on whether work should always come first have remained stable, millennials, born in the early 1980s to mid-1990s, have become much less likely to agree with this view: in 2009, 41% felt this way; by 2022, this had fallen to 14%.

Prof Bobby Duffy, the director of the Policy Institute at King’s College London and principal investigator in the study, said millennials “have become much more sceptical about prioritising work as they’ve made their way through their career” due to “the long-term economic and wage stagnation that will lead younger generations to question the value of work”.

The people most likely to say that work was very important in their lives were mostly based in lower- and middle-income countries, with the Philippines, Indonesia and Nigeria all coming out top.

Duffy said that, although there were specific dynamics in the UK in terms of inequality, the data also suggested there was a “long-term shift in preferences for work-life balance across a wide range of richer countries”.
