This is the best summary I could come up with:
New figures from the EU’s statistics agency rank Austria as the happiest country in the 27-member bloc.
Austria scored an overall 7.9 out of 10 in Eurostat’s annual publication of its “quality of life indicators”, which is based on surveys conducted throughout member states.
It said that factors such as level of education, family and financial stability impacted survey respondents’ overall satisfaction with their lives, rather than simply wealth.
Italy, Spain and France, three of the largest economies in the EU, all hover around the 7.1 average for the continent.
While the study does not indicate the cause behind the drop in the general life satisfaction of a German, it appears consistent with other polls that reflect a dip in the mood of the country’s residents.
Concerns appear to be related to Germany’s economic stagnation, the Ukraine war and immigration.
