While one in four employees worldwide are experiencing symptoms of burnout, that figure nears one in three for Asia, according to McKinsey research on workplace mental health. There are also some geographical differences between Asian countries when it comes to symptoms including depression, anxiety, and distress.

Layout / body structure
A single chart occupies the center of the page, with the main comparison read across the chart area and the article link left below as supporting context.
What is being compared
The chart compares burnout and related mental-health outcomes across Asia versus the global baseline and across Asian geographies called out in the page text.
Measurement system
The reader is tracking shares of employees reporting burnout or other symptoms, so the scale is percentage-based and built for country or region-to-region comparison.
Visible structure inside the graphic
The graphic is arranged as a set of bars or columns that separate the global benchmark from the Asian figures and then break out the country-level or symptom-level differences inside the region.
Main takeaway from the visual
The chart makes Asia read as a higher-stress region than the global norm, with the Asian results landing above the worldwide benchmark and with clear variation from one Asian market to another.
Key standout values or extremes
The strongest values surfaced on the page are the benchmark comparison itself: about one in four employees globally report burnout symptoms, versus nearly one in three in Asia.
