Also, it described the sociodemographic factors and support systems in dealing with psychosocial issues associated with midlife crisis. This study was anchored on Erikson’s Psychosocial Theory and Levinson’s Stage-crisis view. Cross sectional research design was adopted while multistage and purposive sampling techniques were used to select the local governments and the participants for the study. Data were collected using structured questionnaire divided into sections, administered to One hundred and sixty-five (165) women. Hypotheses were tested using descriptive statistics and One-way ANOVA. Findings revealed that onset of midlife crisis among women was significant. Specifically, the experience is significant among women aged 45 to 54 at 55.76%. Income status has significant impact among the women during midlife crisis [F (4,160) = 21.726, p < .01]. Participants with higher income (above #200,000) adjusted better. Participant who received support system from immediate family significantly adjusted better than those who received support from other support systems F (3,161) = 12.417, p < .01]. This study was able to establish that age of onset, higher regular income and adequate system of support from the immediate family were significant factors towards adjustment during midlife crisis among women in Oyo state, south west Nigeria. This study recommended that women experiencing mid-life crisis should be offered adequate systems of support.
