It is seen that unemployment, which has become a global problem, and the anxiety about the future brought about by unemployment negatively affect young adults. Especially in our country, the high rate of young population and the rapid increase in the number of young people continuing their education in higher education and graduates increase youth unemployment, thus affecting university students' anxiety about finding a job and their perceptions of future anxiety. One of the most important indicators in the socio-economic development of countries is educated manpower. Failure to use this power correctly and actively causes future generations to be in a state of constant anxiety.
