Furthermore, women often retain a single part-time job, but males frequently hold two or more occupations.
Financial independence is the number one aim for 83% of Gen Z (18-25), compared to 76% of earlier generations (41-60). Flexibility was more important to older generations where 47% felt that it was critical. However, only 25% of Gen Z participants agreed.
