For more than half a century, the middle age crisis was a feature of Western society. Fast cars, impulsive decisions, peak misery between the ages of 40 and 50. But all that changes, according to experts.
in New paper Encouraged by the United Nations, prominent academics Jean Tougan David Blanchevilor warns that the mental health crisis of prosperous youth in six English -speaking countries around the world increases the traditional style of happiness during our lives.
While happiness was once considered to follow up the U-with young people free of concern, and the middle-aged stage is more strict and a more comfortable life at a later time-experts say in luxury that our satisfaction is now steadily with age instead.
“The shape of U has now ended in luxury according to the age that was present in these countries, and is replaced by a crisis in luxury among young people,” according to the paper published by the National Office for American Economic Research.
Analysis of responses to investigative studies in the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, Canada and New Zealand, the study found that satisfaction with life and happiness has decreased among young people over the past decade, especially among young women.
He highlighted the emergence of smartphones and social media, indicating that the trend coincided with the growth of Internet use, with the effect of visual happiness in investigative studies in the six countries and on several other countries around the world.
“This may end as a lost generation,” Blanche Fleur, the former policy of the England Bank’s policy, told the Guardian in an interview. He said that there was a sharp decrease in luxury in the United States and the United Kingdom in particular, and pointed to the growth of social media, online translation and online shame.
“The young are isolated. Also, it is not much for people sitting there on the phone, it is what they do not. They are not going out much; playing with their friends, interacting with others, or having sex.

“I don’t think there is any doubt that you have an absolute global crisis. Young people are in a state of deep chaos and trouble. The question is what we do about it? We do not know.”
Blangflower, a prominent economist in the British labor market now at the prestigious American College of Dartmouth, wrote a paper in 2020 looking at approximately 150 developed and developing countries and found the same U in the happiness applied everywhere. However, he now says that he missed the collapse in the welfare of young people from about 2013 in the survey data, before starting working with Twenge, a pioneering expert in this topic.
“I looked and thought,” O Chit, it’s right. “What happened is a really big deal.
Other studies have attracted links between the mental health crisis of young people, the inequality between generations, the non -organized social media, the insecure employment and the climate crisis. Young people are increasingly likes to be outside the job market with mental health conditions.
Blangflower said that the collapse of youth’s welfare could have vast social and economic consequences. He added: “The economies of this are really great. This is likely to relate to children who withdraw from school; then they come out of the workforce. It is assumed that it will affect your performance in school, which may affect well on global productivity.”
He said that the United Nations has been assigned more research to determine whether the phenomenon can be found elsewhere around the world. He added: “The United Nations sees this that this is a huge global crisis.”
“We have always thought that when life becomes more realistic, happiness decreases due to pressure, you realize that life is not very bad. We have to rethink this entire thought.”
