Economic insecurity, primarily unemployment and financial hardship driven by inflation and the rising cost of living. In workplaces, support with financial wellness, stable compensation, career development, and accessible mental health resources (e.g., October group sessions) can help.
How mental health affects the 25-34 demographic differently
- Economic volatility and cost of living (inflation, currency instability, rising rents, energy outages)
- Job security and career progression (unemployment/underemployment, contract work, slow promotions)
- Parenting and family responsibilities (childcare costs, balancing work and family life, elder care)
- Housing and urban living pressures (housing affordability, renting in cities, access to mortgage options)
- Health and mental health care access and stigma (limited mental health resources, long wait times, stigma around seeking help)
