Based on the World Happiness Report, it was revealed that the study focuses on the happiness of people at different stages of life and of those in different generations.

It is said that the young are the happiest and that happiness thereafter declines until middle age, followed by substantial recovery.

Some important parts of life are tied mainly to age, such as schooling, employment and health while others depend more on what is going on in society and the world.

The study was based on the Gallup World Poll (GWP), which considers questions about support, freedom to make life choices, and generosity, positive and negative affect.
