People InUK and Australis are down-shifting to obtainwork-life balance
"Clive Hamilton, executive director of the Australia Institute, a Canberra-based think-tank and a visiting scholar at Cambridge University, found 25 per cent of those surveyed had downshifted in the past decade, and a quarter of those had done so in the past year. Even more remarkably, they had taken an average pay cut of 40 per cent.
'I think it reflects the intensification of work and life pressures, and greater pressures to earn more and consume more and get into debt,' Mr Hamilton said.'This is a reaction to the over-consumption that has become so dominant in British life. More and more people are saying they want to buy back more time.''
In a survey of 1,071 people aged 30-59 selected at random, carried out by the British Market Research Bureau, 270 said they had made a long-term decision to change their life in a way that involved earning less."
Hamilton got the same results in a survey conducted last year in Australia.
