Germans’ happiness has plummeted over the past years, according to an EU-wide survey.<\/p>\n

Eurostat, the European Union’s statistics agency, measures every year how happy with their lives a sample of people in each member state say to be.<\/p>\n

Ranking their happiness on a scale from zero, which means absolute dissatisfaction, to 10, which stands for complete happiness, those polled provide an assessment of the general mood of their countries.<\/p>\n

This week, Eurostat published the overall life satisfaction survey for 2022, which suggested people in Germany were last year much more unhappy than they had been in 2021.<\/p>\n

The newly released results show only people in Bulgaria, who scored their lives a 5.6, feel more dissatisfied within the 27-strong bloc than Germans.<\/p>\n

The population in Germany, on the other hand, gave their lives a score of 6.5.<\/p>\n

Last year’s figure for 2021, however, suggested Germans were much more satisfied, scoring themselves a 7.1.<\/p>\n

The Eurostat poll suggested that the happiest country in Europe is Austria, which scored an overall 7.9 out of 10.<\/p>\n

Poland, Romania and Finland followed through, also achieving scores well above 7.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the results, Eurostat said: “EU citizens tended to be quite satisfied with their life in general, reporting an average of 7.1 points out of 10.”<\/p>\n

Eurostat didn’t delve too much into the reasons behind the average happiness or unhappiness of each member state, but noted the answers given by the survey’s respondents were likely impacted by education, family and financial stability rather than wealth alone.<\/p>\n

This would explain how Poland and Romania, normally associated with low levels of income, performed so well in this survey when compared to one of the bloc’s wealthiest nations, Germany.<\/p>\n
