Millennials and members of Generation Z are becoming increasingly concerned about their salaries and career advancement opportunities, according to a Deloitte study reported by Le Soir on Saturday.

Deloitte surveyed a weighted sample of 300 people aged 20 to 29, and 200 people aged 30 to 41.

Personal financial stability was the top concern for respondents, overtaking climate change. Fears of terrorism, war or sexual harassment also ranked higher than climate change among top concerns for Millennial and Gen Z.

Among Gen Z, 44% find stress levels at work too high, compared to 59% of Millennials.

In both age groups, three out of four (73%) feel their current job gives them a sense of purpose, and six out of ten are satisfied with their career advancement opportunities.

Additionally, half of each generation use artificial intelligence, but only 27% of Gen Z and 18% of Millennials feel proficient in this technology. Half of those aged 30 to 41 and 65% of those aged 20 to 29 report not having received training in AI from their employers.
