Band 7.5

Young people in the workforce are changing their jobs or career every a few years. What do you think are the reasons? Do you think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

#people #workforce #jobs #career #years
With each passing year, there is an increase in the rate at which younger folks change the types of jobs they do.
This
 essay aims to elaborate on why I believe
this
 is
due to
 a desire to achieve a better work-life balance and
also
 because they want better pay.
Furthermore
, I will address why I am of the opinion that the pros outweigh the cons. Everyone desires to create a balance between their job and their lives. With an increasingly ageing population, the workforce is left with fewer persons to complete the necessary tasks.
As a result
 of
this
, we have younger people working long hours and barely having time for their health, family or personal duties.
For example
, a survey by Bloomberg showed that more than 75% of people under the age of 30 lack a social life outside of work and are experiencing severe burnout, anxiety and depression. If
this
 is the case, do we not expect them to seek better employment offers?
Furthermore
, it is evident that the cost of living has drastically increased over the years but salaries remain the same. How
then
 do the youths afford the current standard of living?
For instance
, renting an apartment in downtown Chicago was just six hundred dollars (600) in 2006; but an analysis done by the World Economic Forum shows that
this
 has increased by over 85%. To be able to survive with the high expenses, they need to work multiple jobs or switch workplaces. The problem with these moves from one company to another cannot be negated. The cost of having to train new employees can be overwhelming for companies.
However
, you will agree with me that being of a sound mind and being happy with what you are doing is a necessity for being productive at the office (money is said to be a mood booster). The
overall
 satisfaction of employees should be the primary concern of a company, as ,without them, the company ceases to exist. In conclusion, with more young folks switching employments
due to
 lack of balance and poor pay, I believe the upsides of these changes outweigh the negatives.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
