One out of seven young male civil servants under 30 intends to quit within a few years, according to a recent government survey.
The results reflect dissatisfaction with their jobs and the long working hours that make it difficult to achieve a work-life balance. They also suggest that there is an urgent need to reform the way government officials work.
Of male bureaucrats under 30 who responded, 14.7 percent said they are preparing to leave their jobs or thinking about quitting in one to three years, the survey by the Cabinet Bureau of Personnel Affairs showed.
