The primary motivation for Hongkongers who have quit their jobs or are considering resigning is the desire to improve their work-life balance, a recent survey has found, with the proportion rising 5.9 percentage points year on year.
The annual study, commissioned by major recruitment agency Randstad, surveyed more than 170,000 people globally, including 2,599 in Hong Kong, through online interviews.
Among the Hong Kong respondents, 40 per cent were millennials, born between 1981 and 1996, and 20 per cent belonged to Generation Z, born after 1997.
According to the results, 38.3 per cent of residents said that “improving work-life balance” had been one of the motivations for quitting their jobs, up from 32.4 per cent last year.
