Gen Z: Economic Uncertainty and Mental Health

Economic uncertainty and the rising cost of living significantly impact the mental health of Gen Z. The pressure to survive in a demanding job market leads to increased levels of anxiety and depression.

According to research, 70% of young people consider financial stability and independence as key elements of success. However, 57% are concerned about their financial problems, which affects their mental health.

Many young people in Gen Z work multiple jobs to cover basic needs such as rent and tuition fees. This leads to exhaustion and professional disappointment.

Solutions for mental well-being:

• Financial planning and management
• Support from family
• Recognition of mental boundaries
• Search for purpose

Creating a support network and balancing work and rest are important for the mental health of Gen Z.
