The U.S. has fallen eight spots and is no longer in the top 20 happiest countries in the world, falling behind countries like Canada, Israel, Kuwait, Lithuania and UAE.

Jon HaworthThe United States has fallen eight spots and is no longer in the top 20 happiest countries in the world, falling behind countries like Canada, Israel, Kuwait, Lithuania and the United Arab Emirates, according to the 2024 World Happiness Report released by Gallup and its partners.

One of the main reasons for the United States dropping out of the top 20 is the overall unhappiness of younger people, according to the report. "Although overall levels of loneliness are not unduly high in global terms, there is a significantly different pattern across the generations," the report says. "Loneliness is almost twice as high among the Millennials than among those born before 1965. Millennials also feel less socially supported than Boomers in those countries, another place in which these countries look different from the rest of the world.
