The New York Times (4/30, Caron ) reports that survey data, collected by Gallup primarily in 2023, show that “young adults between the ages of 18 and 29 were struggling – not only with happiness, but also with their physical and mental health, their perceptions of their own character, finding meaning in life, the quality of their relationships and their financial security.” Study participants across the globe “had relatively low measures of flourishing on average until age 50,” but the “the difference between the younger and older adults was largest in the United States, the researchers said.” The study was “one of a collection of papers published on Wednesday in the journal Nature Mental Health.”
