GCC STRESS INSIGHTS GETTHEWORLDMOVING.COM Drilling deeper into the demographics (Chart 3), we see that workplace stress is reported to be more extreme for employees between the ages of 31 and 50 – those likely to be at the peak of their career. Proportionally, more women reported feeling higher levels of stress than men, be it from work or home sources (Charts 3 and 4). It’s interesting to note that the gender gulf is more pronounced between the ages of 18-35, with younger women reporting feeling significantly more stress than their male counterparts. It is also important to note that “home stress” is not confined to home; the aggravators may be located outside work, but they still affect performance on the job. Other studies have indicated that the higher stress levels reported by women could be linked to the dual demands of work and family, which is largely skewed towards women 10 . The fact that women are more likely to acknowledge and discuss the fact that they feel their stress levels are on the rise is also a factor 11 . 3. WORK STRESS BY AGE AND GENDER (PRE-GCC SURVEY) 4.
