Professor Jan-Emmanuel De Neve, the director of Oxford University’s Wellbeing Research Centre and an editor of the report, said the findings on youth unhappiness were worrying.

“To think that, in some parts of the world, children are already experiencing the equivalent of a mid-life crisis demands immediate policy action.”
