Asking the Maltese population about happiness in their lives, 66.6% of respondents said that they are content with their lives on the island.
This is, however, a decrease from 77% from 2022, which was an increase of around 17% percentage points from 2021.
3.0% said that they are not happy with their lives, an increase from 2022’s 2.5%. On the other hand, 30.3% claimed that it could be better, an almost ten time increase from 2022.
It was found that those who pay the most tax are the least content with their lives. 53.6% of those who pay 35% reported to be happy with their lives, with 68% who pay 0% saying that they are happy.
According to the statistics, it was found that around 4 out of every 5 respondent said that their standard of living was close to the average cost, with 78.9% in 2023 saying so.
This was a very slight increase from last year’s 78.4%. 8.0% said that they live below the average whereas 12.1% said that they live above it.
45.7% of people in Malta in 2023 are unsure whether they will be living a better life in a year’s time. 39.1% believe that they will be living a better life, whereas 15.2% said they will not be living a better life.
