World Happiness Report 2024
The World Happiness Report 2024 takes a comprehensive look at global happiness across different generations, highlighting how happiness varies by age, with significant insights into the well-being of younger and older populations. This year’s report is notable for its detailed exploration of happiness at various life stages, leveraging data from the Gallup World Poll and focusing on factors like GDP, life expectancy, and social support to explain differences in happiness across countries. It also delves into specific issues such as the impact of wellbeing on dementia risk and the effects of India’s caste system on older adults’ happiness. The report is a collaborative effort led by renowned editors and represents a partnership among Gallup, the Oxford Wellbeing Research Centre, and the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network, now published by the Wellbeing Research Centre at the University of Oxford.
