Researchers indicate while younger, healthy people are less likely to be hospitalized or die from the COVID-19 virus, they are being affected in a number of other ways. Juggling work and child care, job insecurities and social isolation add to the mounting pressures of the millennial and Gen Z generations.
Younger people in the U.S. are reporting higher levels of stress during the COVID-19 pandemic than older generations, according to recent surveys.
Nearly a quarter of millennials and 33 percent of Gen Z workers lost a job, were furloughed or had their hours reduced this year, according to the Federal Reserve’s Survey of Household Economics and Decisionmaking.
Job loss has been linked to both depression and poor physical health. Millennials and Generation Z workers, who account for about 70 percent of the leisure and hospitality industry workforce, are most likely to have lost a job because of the pandemic.
