Figure 6: The proportion of young people seeking 'pro-social' careers has increased slightly over time

Years represent year of birth

We define 'pro-social' as those who reported that either 'helping others' or 'contributing to society' would be 'very important' characteristics of a young person's future career. Based on young people aged 16-21 who responded to at least one wave of the young adult survey where the career characteristics data is collected. The shaded area represents the 95 per cent confidence interval of the estimate.
