[Mar. 20, 2024] Young People are less happy: The 2024 World Happiness Report finds that young people in North America, Australia and Western Europe are less happy. "While not all teenagers and young adults are suffering, a large and growing number cannot cope with being left adrift with few qualifications on an economic sea that is more testing with each passing year.
