Abstract
The transition process to adulthood known as emerging adulthood does not always occur without obstacles, often influenced by the mismatch between ideal expectations and the reality faced. This can potentially cause a crisis that is often referred to as a quarter-life crisis. This article aims to explore the causes of the quarter-life crisis experienced by generation Z in Indonesia that affect individuals who are in the emerging adulthood phase. In this study, the method used is a literature study that analyzes four relevant journal articles. The data collected were analyzed using qualitative descriptive data analysis techniques to describe the results of the literature. The results of the study indicate that there are internal and external factors that cause quarter-life crisis among generation Z in Indonesia. Understanding these factors in depth is important to support the mental health of generation Z. The various challenges faced by generation Z are very complex, but they also have the opportunity to develop and learn through self-awareness.
Keywords: emerging adulthood, generation z, quarter life crisis
