According to recent data, the United States has seen a decline in its global ranking of happiness, falling from 15th place in 2023 to 23rd this year. A closer examination of the data reveals that the primary cause of this decline is the significant decrease in happiness among individuals under the age of 30. Specifically, those under 30 ranked 62nd out of 143 countries, while those over the age of 60 ranked 10th.

Females under 30 reported lower levels of happiness compared to their male counterparts. This trend is not a recent phenomenon, but rather a ongoing issue that began around 10 years ago and was exacerbated by the pandemic. Unfortunately, young people have not yet recovered from this drop in happiness and are now experiencing a level of discontent typically reserved for people in their late 30s or early 40s… often referred to as a “midlife crisis.” Many teenagers and young adults with whom I work express feelings of loneliness, alluding to a deep desire for close friendships and a sense of belonging.

However, they often struggle to form and maintain these relationships. Despite making efforts to socialize in person, they frequently encounter rejection or find themselves overwhelmed by their friends’ preoccupation with their phones. The changing landscape of youth culture, characterized by increased isolation and decreased face-to-face interaction… is a significant contributing factor to this phenomenon.

Additional challenges faced by young adults include the rising cost of housing, “growing polarization,” “and widening income disparities.” While these issues can undoubtedly have negative impacts on well-being, it is essential to recognize that quality social interactions can significantly mitigate the effects of these problems.

Therefore, fostering a culture that prioritizes meaningful connections and community building is crucial for addressing the happiness crisis among young people.

The Hub | More Signal. Less Noise.

English Canadian conservatism is essentially part of a North American project—its purpose is to, by and large, conserve a classically liberal inheritance.

The impacts of this legislation are potentially massive for private property, the economy, democracy, and the public interest generally.

We must recognize that economic growth and financial stability are what underwrite the costs of the social supports that we expect in a modern developed economy.
