Hungarians are less happy than the European average
The 51-country Nielsen happiness study, which polled 28,153 respondents online in May 2008, found that globally, women are happier than men in 48 of the surveyed countries.
Hungarians are most satisfied with
their relationships and friendships with their children, parents,
spouses and co-workers. They are also more satisfied with their
sexual life than the European average. Hungarians are conspicuously
dissatisfied with their government, the country's economic situation
and their personal financial standing. In these three categories,
Hungary occupies the bottom place of the European scale.
With ten counting as the happiest, the
European average was 6.2 points while the Hungarians lagged behind
with 5.6 points, tying with the Portuguese and finishing ahead of the
Czechs who scored 5.4 points. The Finns came out as the happiest with
7.3 points.
Poor access to information seems to be
another reason for sadness in Hungary, tying for the bottom place
with France. Hungarians also gave the most negative answers when
they were asked about their success in achieving their life goals.
