Work aversion means that someone is not interested in doing work. It's like when you don't want to do chores like cleaning your room or doing homework. Work aversion usually happens when someone finds a job or task to be too difficult or too boring. Some people might even find work to be too stressful or too scary. Work aversion can make it hard to get things done, but it's possible to find ways to make the tasks more enjoyable or less stressful.
