Europeans' life satisfaction recovers to pre-pandemic levels despite COVID-19 impact, study finds COVID19 pandemic Europe lifesatisfaction research study health wellbeing vaccines omicron PNASNews

By Dr. Chinta SidharthanMay 3 2023Reviewed by Benedette Cuffari, M.Sc. In a recent study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers examine the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic on life satisfaction across European countries between 2020 and 2022.

The chapters in the World Happiness Report for 2021 and 2022 reported changes in subjective well-being; however, these observations were conducted annually and on a worldwide scale. Furthermore, based on the observed absence of negative changes across 150 countries, the report concluded that subjective well-being across the world was resilient against the impact of the pandemic.

The severity of the COVID-19 pandemic was determined using the confirmed number of COVID-19 cases and deaths. Data on the effectiveness of disease mitigation and COVID-19 containment policies was obtained from the Our World in Data collection. High COVID-19 mortality rates coincided with lower life satisfaction While all the European countries experienced a decline in life satisfaction associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, by the summer of 2022, life satisfaction measures were returning to the same level as those reported during the pre-pandemic autumn of 2019.

This reduction in COVID-19-associated mortality during the third wave was attributed to the development and widespread administration of COVID-19 vaccines. Simultaneously, the Omicron variants emerged and, despite expressing increased immune evasion and transmittance, were less fatal than previous viral variants.
