Causes of Life Stage Crises
Life stage crises generally stem from major transitions, such as entering adulthood, career changes, or approaching midlife. A LinkedIn survey found that 75% of adults aged 25 to 33 experienced a quarter-life crisis, often triggered by societal pressures and concerns about future prospects. In Indonesia, research showed that 59% of final-year students experienced similar crises, marked by anxiety about their future. These crises are typically driven by personal expectations, social pressures, and major life events, resulting in feelings of uncertainty or dissatisfaction.
