Young, rich and miserable

MTV Survey of 5400 young people in 14 countries

Young people in developing nations are at least twice as likely to feel happy about their lives than their richer counterparts, a survey says.

Indians are the happiest overall and Japanese the most miserable.

Only 8% in Japan said they were happy, fewer than 30% in the US and  Britain while 75% in Argentine and South Africa were happy.

Lets see,  In developed countries, young people have little optimism, are concerned about jobs and globalization and feel the pressure to succeed.

In underdeveloped countries, young people are more religious and expected their lives to be better in the future.

Too easy a life, too much stuff, and rich, young people lose a sense of meaning, passion and purpose.
