Older Adults and Happiness - Deep Dive

This podcast takes a deep dive into our Information Tool: Older Adults and Happiness. Hundreds of published papers suggest that we experience peak happiness in our youth and old age, with a dip in mid-life around 50. With the latest research indicating a significant decline in youth happiness rankings in North America, the u-curve may now be more of a linear progression of increasing happiness as we age.

You can access the companion NICE Information Tool on our website at: https://www.nicenet.ca/articles/are-older-adults-the-happiest-age-group. The online Information Tool  provides related links to videos, infographics, and a printable version. The National Initiative for Care of the Elderly (NICE) has developed a series of information tools derived from research studies that focus on understanding the challenges people face as they age. The research for these information tools is conducted manually, while their distribution utilizes AI-based technologies for generating audio and images.
