美国幸福指数首次跌出全球前20名 枪支暴力、代际贫富差距是主因

受枪支暴力、代际贫富差距、政治两极分化等因素影响，美国儿童和年轻人越来越不快乐，导致美国的幸福指数排名下滑。

据美国全国广播公司新闻网（NBC News）报道，联合国3月20日发布的《2024年度全球幸福指数报告》显示，受枪支暴力、代际贫富差距、政治两极分化等因素影响，美国儿童和年轻人越来越不快乐，导致美国的幸福指数排名下滑。

Happiness is a relative concept, but an annual index that tracks it in countries around the world has found that the United States and some Western European countries are falling in overall well-being because younger people are feeling less and less happy.

幸福是一个相对概念，但是一项年度全球幸福指数报告显示，美国和一些西欧国家的整体幸福指数排名在下滑，因为年轻人越来越不快乐。

The US, in particular, dropped out of the top 20 for the first time, falling to 23rd place from 15th last year, driven by a large drop in the well-being of Americans under 30. The age disparity is stark: The US ranks in the top 10 for those over 60, but for those under 30, it ranks 62nd, pulling down the overall score.

由于美国30岁以下年轻人幸福指数大幅下降，美国首次跌出全球前20名，从去年的第15名降至今年的第23名。美国60岁以上人群幸福指数排在全球前十，而30岁以下人群排在全球第62名，差距极大，进而拉低了整体排名。

The findings were announced Wednesday to mark the United Nations’ International Day of Happiness, It’s based on data collected by the research company Gallup and analysis by academics led by the University of Oxford in the UK.

3月20日发布的这一报告是为了纪念联合国设立的国际幸福日。该报告基于调研公司盖洛普收集的数据和英国牛津大学学者的分析。
