When recent changes <strong>in</strong> mental stressfulness of work among different age<br />

groups are exam<strong>in</strong>ed, it appears that <strong>in</strong> Lithuania <strong>the</strong> general <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> mental<br />

stress at work has affected workers of all ages - <strong>in</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r words, <strong>the</strong> trend<br />

has been universal. In Latvia, <strong>the</strong> oldest age group (i.e. <strong>the</strong> over-50s) have<br />

been spared from <strong>the</strong> growth <strong>in</strong> work stress more frequently than <strong>the</strong> younger<br />

ones have. One <strong>in</strong> three of Latvia's age<strong>in</strong>g workers said that <strong>the</strong>ir work was<br />

more stressful than before, whereas nearly half (45 %) of <strong>the</strong> under-30s felt<br />

that way. In Estonia and F<strong>in</strong>land, on <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r hand, it is <strong>the</strong> youngest respondents<br />

(those under 30) who have experienced a growth <strong>in</strong> work stress less frequently<br />

than <strong>the</strong> older ones.
