Working pressure and heated petition are the major factors behind the phenomenon. People he to put a lot of effort into their work to get their job secured, using up stock of knowledge they've got from previous education and losing enthusiasm for work.

工作压力和激烈的竞争是导致这一现象的主要因素。为了保住工作，人们把大量的精力都投入到工作当中, 把上学时学到的知识和技能都用尽了，也没了工作热情。保持好工作和生活的平衡能够使掏空族的生活更上一层楼，而如果有终身学习的规划，他们就一定能够摆脱被掏空的命运。
