YOUNG workers are now three times more likely to be forced to take time off for stress compared with older colleagues, a survey has shown.

A worrying 35 per cent of workers aged 18 to 24 needed time off last year because of poor mental health caused by stress, Mental Health UK said.

Meanwhile the rate for over-55s fell from 15 per cent to one in 10, the charity’s second annual Burnout Report found.
