A new survey reveals that Hungarians are much less happy than they were last year

Change language:

Sadly, a new survey found that Hungarians dropped 13 places on the World Happiness Report 2025 compared to the 2024 annual report. On top of the list are Scandinavian countries like Finland, winning the “competition”, followed by Denmark, Iceland, and Sweden. Hungarians are less happy than Romanians, Serbs, Slovaks, Austrians, and Slovenians but happier than Croats and Ukrainians.

According to 24.hu, Hungary was 56th on the World Happiness Report 2024, but the latest survey revealed that our country dropped to the 69th position, meaning it slipped 13 places in just one year. Based on the findings, Hungarians are less happy than Chinese, Russian or Uzbek people.

The world’s happiest country is Finland for the eighth time, consecutively. The 2025 report ranked countries based on the respondents’ evaluation of the years between 2022 and 2024. According to the document, “The Gallup World Poll, which remains the principal source of data in this report, asks respondents to evaluate their current life as a whole using the image of a ladder, with the best possible life for them as a 10 and the worst possible as a 0. Each respondent provides a numerical response on this scale, referred to as the Cantril Ladder.

Typically, around 1,000 responses are gathered annually for each country. Weights are used to construct population-representative national averages for each year in each country. We base our happiness ranking on a three-year average of these life evaluations since the larger sample size enables more precise estimates.”

  1. Rightfully.
    With FACTUAL reason(s) – that to LIST them, time would be “eaten” up lots, to record.
    The “youth” – please be the BIG – the “Gargantuan” – Game Changes for OUR Future – your FUTURE – HUNGARY.
    “Out with the Old and in with the NEW”.
    Orban – his Fidesz Government – message to in particular the YOUTH – don’t be DICTATED to.
    “Freedom & Liberty” – freedom of a voice, being INVITED into DIALOGUE not DICTATED to.
    Orban, his Fidesz Government – have “BUTCHERED” us as a country – HUNGARY.
    Truth is Truth.
    Truth combined with FACTS – a LETHAL “cocktail”.
    TRUTH – let it LOOSE its like a Lion, in that it DEFENDS it-self.
    Hungary – the Orban led Fidesz Government – throw them into the “dens” of Lions – that they rightly will be “food for fodder”.
    PROBLEM, what they get to “fodder off” – from Victor Mihaly. Orban – they will have DAYS of FOOD provided.
    The “Lions” certainly, with ALL of the Fidesz Government in there “Den” – Varga, Szijjarto waiting immediately in line behind Orban, then the Head of the Prime Ministers Department – Gergely Gulyas – there WILL be over time, a “pack” of GIGANTIC sized Lions, from the “fodder” they are PROVIDED by the “heinous” – Victor Orban led Fidesz Government of Hungary.
    Hungary – we HAVE been SLAUGHTERED.
