Crap jobs, fewer homes, less money, toxic politics. And peak happiness eludes the young: who knew? | Zoe Williams

So There are two studies, Encouraged from Weetabixfor One of the United NationsBut we do not need to decide anyone who is likely to be more reliable because praise, both say the same thing: 45 is now the era of the peak happiness. By 77 % huge is more satisfied with their lives after 40 years, as a third of them said they are no longer interested in what others believe, and 59 % of self-realization-or at least say they “now know what really matters in life.” This is more likely as it happens. This data is all from the study funded by high fiber breakfast.

Meanwhile, the United Nations has investigative results from the United Kingdom, Ireland, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and began with joy enough-happiness was visualized in the form of U, when it was bliss to be alive in youth, misery in the middle of the afternoon, then picked up again with age. Now it is more than a straight upward path, although this cannot be literally true because it will make children the youngest people on earth. Clean play, crying a lot.

The problem with the United Nations research is that it is quite clear what drives this change, and – NewSflash – not Pilates. Economist David Blanche FlaorParticipating author with an academic psychologist Jean TwingIt is explicit: There is “a crisis in luxury among young people.” They have become isolated, do not go out, do not care, and do not have sex. Show separate searchOver and over, there is a mental health crisis in less than 35 years, with more than 500,000 workforce excludes. The percentage of youth has multiplied due to mental health problems since 2012. People can reach the height of happiness at only 45 years through the tremendous good wealth of at least 45 years.

There are many explanations for this purpose as soon as they are captured. Cofide is often believed to have hit young people more difficult: the school has been disrupted and the results of the distorted exams; Paying those at the university for the best years of their lives without actually enjoying them; Those who have just started to work on the comrade and exchange knowledge of offices. Blangflower claims that the trend started before 2020, and it did not end when it resumed normal life – so it should be something else, perhaps using social media, online translation, and online shame.

Trying to understand this, people in the 1940s and fifties of them Often return to the hypothesis of snowflake. If these features of modern life – which the rest of us managed is fine – has overwhelmed one generation, then it is not strong? They have commented on the identity policy, easy to offend, very ready to protest against the violation they took, very eager to diagnose themselves with things, then very declining in seeking allowances – very fragile for the world. I have heard differences about this from people working alongside the younger Gen Z and Millengers for a long time that I started taking confidence. I only spoke with those young on the phone, when they seemed to be regular and bitter human beings. But what did you know? I worked at home.

Nevertheless, though, these novels appear to resemble elevator music – soothing, without form – from coherent melody; It is not reasonable for the indigenous population to be affected by online behavior when they are more intelligent. There are more clear explanations, which young people will volunteer freely: students’ debts, the huge barriers that prevent good work for those who have no degree, the fact that even high -quality jobs are no longer safe, and the fact that wages have been installed after housing costs have done the opposite.

Of course there are differences within the generation, but the general image is that life is simply much more difficult. The transfer of wealth will be transferred for generations in current inequality, and MEDLE MILLENNIALS Set for the acquisition of most – But the real distribution occurs through the inheritance, and this means, not when you are small. Most likely, when you are about 45 years old.

Young people face difficult living levels, a political speech that says it is your own mistake to buy a lot of lattes, and the culture of wellness that focuses individual discipline. It seems that the only way to preserve yourself is a rational organization. Once you do it, most likely, you are more likely to join the battle against the climate crisis, where you find yourself in the same position: the only generation without flashing.

Is it really happy, for more than the 1940s, if it is backed by denial (also, according to Weetabix, walking long)? Or is the denial that any generation will choose, if the conditions of their materials allow? Either way, I think the scope of joy and ability is the same through every age group; We are the same people, dealing with different facts.
