15% of Crimeans had to experience psychological pressure from family and friends regarding work and career: “I want to move to another city, my mother is afraid of being left without help, so she is offended and angry”; “The current work schedule does not suit family members”; “I understood that I needed to quit, but my family put pressure on me to continue working”; “My husband is not satisfied with the size of my salary.” Most often, those who are younger face this kind of “pressure” (23% among respondents under 34 years of age versus 12% among respondents over 45 years of age). City residents with a salary of more than 100 thousand rubles per month spoke least often about attempts by relatives to influence decisions regarding work and career (9%),” noted the service’s press service.
