Original title: « Pourquoi le bonheur des enfants doit être une priorité politique ». Article by Francis Munier published on 5 October 2026 on the The Conversation website.
The ‘happiness economist’ argues that children’s happiness should be given greater consideration in public policy. In light of the observed decline in young people’s well-being across many countries, he emphasises the need for indicators to measure it. The author thus calls for a shift in perspective, which would place this issue at the heart of collective decision-making.
