Current Affairs Sociological study suggests residents in wine-growing regions happier with their lives
New results in a Czech sociological study (part of a larger long-term European project measuring values across European countries) have suggested that an overwhelming number of Czechs – 86 percent - are happy with their lives. The study covered aspects contributing to perceived wellbeing, and looked into how values in the country had shifted over the years. For example, back in 1991, 61 percent of Czechs were concerned with individual freedom, whereas in 2008, that number dropped to just 46 percent. Over the same period, Czechs also shifted from emphasising competition to desiring greater social equality. But on the whole, values have remained largely consistent.
