The United States has slipped eight spots in the global happiness rankings, falling out of the top 20 happiest countries, as revealed by the 2024 World Happiness Report. Factors contributing to this decline include a decrease in overall happiness among younger people and concerns about loneliness. Countries like Costa Rica and Kuwait have entered the top 20, while the US and Germany have dropped out. The report, based on self-assessments from over 140 countries, highlights the importance of social support, healthy life expectancy, and other key variables in determining life satisfaction. Today's release coincides with the UN's International Day of Happiness.
