I beleive the title of the article is a bit misleading. If I read the article correctly, it merely states that 50% have quit a job, not quit working altogether. Gotta take some of these articles with grain of salt.....if a survey asks if you've ever changed jobs because the job you had was miserable and you answer yes, they'd say you quit your job due to mental health reasons.

I will agree that the government is doing a lot of things to demoralize young folks and remove incentive to work....if you give people enough free stuff that they don't need to work much, while at the same time taxing them so badly that working seems useless, its not surprising that many people opt to quit a [bleep] job. Working towards an achievable goal is what keeps people motivated and feeling like that have purpose. If someone can't see a real benefit to the work they are doing, they probably won't do it long.
