Experts Call For Action After Report Says Gen Z Facing "Midlife Crisis"

Experts Call For Action After Report Says Gen Z Facing "Midlife Crisis"

Professor Jan-Emmanuel De Neve, director of the Wellbeing Research Centre and editor of the study, said the report showed "disconcerting drops in youth happiness, especially in North America and Western Europe".

Gen Z is facing "the equivalent of a midlife crisis" and they are becoming less happy than older generations, a global study has revealed. The World Happiness Report, which was released on Wednesday, revealed that United States is out of the top 20 happiest countries, falling to 23rd place. It also said that young people under the age of 30 now rank 62nd out of 143 countries for happiness, while US adults age 60 and above are ranked 10th. This particular statistic has caused concern among healthcare experts, with America's top surgeon general Dr Vivek Murthy blaming social media for it.

"Allowing children to use social media is like giving them medicine that is not proven to be safe," Dr Murthy told The Guardia. He added that the failure of governments to regulate social media was "insane".

The doctor said that adolescents in the US were spending nearly five hours a day on social media and a third were staying up until midnight on week nights on their devices. He called for legislation "now" to reduce harms to young people from social media including limiting or eliminating features such as like buttons and infinite scrolling.
