Origins and Use
The term "lazy-girl jobs" gained traction in mid-2023, largely through TikTok, where young professionals—particularly women—shared their experiences with undemanding jobs that allowed them to avoid burnout. The trend was partly a reaction to the "hustle culture" of the 2010s and the rise of movements like "quiet quitting" (doing the bare minimum at work). While the term is somewhat tongue-in-cheek, critics argue it perpetuates stereotypes about women being "lazy" or unmotivated. However, supporters claim it is pushing back against exploitative work cultures.

This type of work is popular among young professionals (especially Gen Z and millennials) disillusioned with toxic work environments; people prioritizing work-life balance over high salaries or promotions; and those in administrative, tech, or creative roles that can be done remotely.
