I think older people are worse at work-life balance | SBS Insight

As post-COVID attitudes towards work-life balance continue to change, some of us are questioning our role in the rat race and opting out. For others, the choice is hampered by housing and cost-of-living pressures. Insight explores how Australians are balancing a desire to clock-off, with their need to pay the bills.
