"Generational Happiness Divide: Youth Impact on Global Well-being"
TL;DR
The U.S. has dropped in the global happiness ranking, but individuals aged 60 and older in the country report higher levels of well-being compared to younger age groups. There is a decline in happiness among younger adolescents and young adults in the U.S., as well as in Canada, Australia, and parts of western Europe and Britain. Factors such as social support, healthy life expectancy, and societal pressures contribute to these shifts in happiness levels across different age groups.
