Only in the south (zuid) region did more women feel this expectation over men (43% vs 36%).

Meanwhile, the study also found that most of millennials are willing to invest time (94%) and money (75%) in their professional development, in order to have the right skills amid increasing digitisation and flexibility.

The majority of millennials, or 82%, say they are satisfied with their current job. The three most important reasons are the salary, great colleagues and a good future perspective.  On average, men (84%) were more satisfied than women (80%).
