Forty-six percent of Australians said they were ‘‘very happy’’. Following them was the USA (40 percent), Egypt (36 percent), India (34 percent) and the UK and Canada (32 percent). Hungary finished top of the ‘‘miserable’’ list. Thirty-five percent of its citizens said they were ‘‘very unhappy’’. Second most miserable were Russians, at 30 percent. The research showed that money and age affected how happy people are. The study did not show that money can buy happiness, but it revealed a link between a lack of money and unhappiness. Unhappier people were in lower income groups or unemployed. The study also suggested the older we become, the less happy we are. Globally, teenagers are the happiest people. The least happy age group is 50/59 ; only 16 percent of those in their fifties said they were very happy. To conclude, we can confirm that the things that make us happy include good health, financial security and a happy marriage, not cars and clothes. c. What is the happiest age group ? 4.
