How the World Feels | | | | The Data: In 2024, 39% of adults worldwide reported experiencing a lot of worry the previous day, 37% reported stress, 32% physical pain, 26% sadness and 22% anger. The Trend: While most experiences of negative emotions are receding from their pandemic-era highs, all are still higher than they were a decade ago. Read the Report | | | 2. Gender Divide | | | | The Data: Globally, women continue to report higher levels of sadness than men (28% vs. 24%, respectively). A similar pattern appears for worry (41% vs. 37%), physical pain (34% vs. 30%) and anger (24% vs. 20%). Positive Emotions: Positive daily experiences are broadly shared. Women and men report nearly identical levels of feeling enjoyment, learning or doing something interesting, smiling or laughing, and feeling respected. Explore Gender Gaps | | | 3. Age Gaps | | | | The Data: Age also plays a role in experiencing daily emotions. Adults younger than 50 are more likely than those aged 50 and older to report feeling angry. Stress peaks among adults aged 30 to 49, while older adults (aged 50+) report more sadness. Positive Emotions: Positive daily experiences vary by age, with younger people standing out for higher enjoyment, laughter and learning.
