According to the South China Morning Post, a survey conducted by HK.WeCare, which is a platform established by the non-profit organization Wofoo Social Enterprises, determined that the Hong Kong Happiness Index stands at 5.87 out of 10. This score indicates that the index has remained below the passing benchmark of six out of 10 for a fourth consecutive year, although it is noted to be higher than its level in 2024.
Hong Kong’s Generation Y residents – those aged 30 to 45 – are the city’s unhappiest age group, largely because of dissatisfaction with economic and housing conditions, a poll has found.
Furthermore, the survey of 1,039 adults indicated that over 40 per cent of the residents reported experiencing moderate to severe depressive symptoms. Regarding social aspects, respondents indicated only moderate levels of community belonging and trust, with scores of 3.13 and 2.81, respectively, out of five. The report also stated that both community belonging and trust were found to have a direct connection to happiness.
