Abstract
Despite more discussion about mental health during the pandemic, many surveys have shown that stigma at work makes Millennials and Gen Z hesitant to express their increased stress and anxiety to their employers, with nearly six out of ten saying they did not tell their boss how they were feeling. In addition, 49% and 47% of millennials and Gen Zs who have taken time off for mental health reasons have not told their boss. Over half of millennials and Gen Zs say mental health discrimination is common. School shootings, student debt, unemployment, and politics all stress Gen Z [5]. Some teens may feel isolated and lonely in a hyper-connected world. It may also give a steady supply of negative news headlines, FOMO, and social media humiliation [10]. Millennials believe work affects their mental health [16]. Increased work hours and stagnant wages contribute to millennial burnout [13]. The current study focuses on identifying factors that affect generation Y and Z's mental health. The study samples North-West Delhi residents. The study compared factors to respondent demographics and accomplished using survey questionnaires where primary data was collected and analysed.
