Europeans' life satisfaction recovers to pre-pandemic levels despite COVID-19 impact, study finds

Research analyzes the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on life satisfaction in Europe over three years. The study finds that while the pandemic had an adverse impact on life satisfaction, on average, satisfaction with life in the summer of 2022 is about the same as the pre-pandemic value in the autumn of 2019.
