Career
Two in five students aged 15 across OECD countries report having no clear career plans. This uncertainty can lead to stress and anxiety, impacting their mental health. Additionally, 45% of high school graduates feel they lack enough information to make a career decision. Choosing a career is a significant source of stress for teenagers, and it can affect their overall happiness and well-being. Support from parents, teachers, and career counselors is crucial in helping them navigate this challenging decision and promoting their mental health.
