In nearly all of the Western European countries surveyed, the percentage of adults who consider themselves very or rather happy in 2020 is either in line with or a bit lower than 2019. For instance, Sweden, Belgium, and France are only down by 1 or 2 points. Erosion in Spain (-8), Great Britain (-6), and Germany (-5) is a bit more pronounced. Italy is the only Western European country surveyed to buck this trend – happiness has risen by 5 points since 2019. Though at 62%, this is still 11 points below the high recorded in 2011. New this wave, the Netherlands posts very strong levels of happiness (87%) – highest in the region and in 2nd place globally.

Mixed movement is seen in happiness levels among the Central/Eastern European countries surveyed. Poland is the most stable, with happiness down just 3 points from 2019 (to 68%). A somewhat larger decline is seen in Hungary (down 5, to 45%). Happiness in these two countries is now approaching study lows – of 43% in Hungary recorded in 2011 and of 66% seen in Poland in 2017. By contrast, positive movement is seen in Russia – up 11 points vs. 2019, to 58% – and more in line with prior readings. Happiness among Turkish adults is up 6 points, to 59% – though this is still very far off from the happiness levels seen 7 to 9 years ago (north of 80%).

Over the past year, the percentage of adults who consider themselves happy has increased considerably in both China (+11 points) and Malaysia (+10). In fact, at 93%, happiness reaches a study high in China. Happiness is slightly improved or unchanged in Japan (+3), Saudi Arabia (+2), and South Korea (no change), while erosion is seen this year in India (-11), Australia (-9), and South Africa (-7). Over the past 7 to 9 years, happiness has receded in South Africa, India, South Korea, and Japan, while it has been fairly stable in Saudi Arabia. Happiness and ebbed and flowed in Australia since 2011.
