A new survey by the Finnish Youth Research Network showed the sharpest decline in life satisfaction ever recorded among 15–25 year-olds.
Satisfaction with life showed an especially sharp decline among girls in general, and boys with an immigrant background.
Not surprisingly, researchers attribute growing dissatisfaction to restrictions imposed to deal with the coronavirus pandemic which have impacted the lives of children and young people, their education, friendships and hobbies.
