The ongoing cost of living crisis, exacerbated by high inflation, has led to a significant number of UK workers struggling financially, affecting their day-to-day essentials.
Around 12.4 million UK adults have run out of money before payday at least once this year, highlighting the reach of financial hardship across demographics.
Younger workers, particularly those under 34, appear to be disproportionately affected, with many resorting to loans, moving in with friends, and working through illness.
Fear of losing wages is driving employees to continue working while unwell, with over half of 18-24-year-olds in this position, reflecting a troubling workplace culture.
