The World Happiness Report 2025 reveals that the U.S. ranks a low 24th in global happiness, primarily due to younger generations facing isolation and lack of support. The report features insights into how factors like GDP, social support, and perceptions of freedom impact happiness levels. A significant increase in loneliness among Gen Z, about 19% in 2023 feeling without support, indicates troubling trends in social connections. This contributes to a broader decline in happiness and trust within the U.S.
"Today's young people report feeling less supported by friends and family, less free to make life choices and less optimistic about their living standards."
"The decline in the U.S. in 2024 was at least partly attributable to Americans younger than age 30 feeling worse about their lives."
