The Agenda: Younger workers cannot accept lower pay... but is that justified?

View descriptionShare
 

When it comes to work, younger generations are often accused of wanting too much, too soon. This expectation has led the Gen Z and millennials to be frequently labelled as impatient or unrealistic.But are they really?

A new Jobstreet by SEEK report called the Salary Pulse: Singapore 2026 report showed that workers who change jobs are far more likely to receive significant pay increases than those who stay loyal to their employers. And when salary expectations aren't met, younger workers are much more likely to start looking elsewhere.

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Mark Ng, Marketing Manager from Jobstreet by SEEK to find out whether younger workers become too focused on salary, or are they simply responding to the realities of today's job market and changing workplace expectations.
