Life satisfaction among Canadians seems to be dropping over the past few years, according to a report from Statistics Canada (StatCan).
Less than half (48.6% per cent) of Canadians report that they have high levels of life satisfaction (8 or higher on the 0-to-10 scale, where 0 means “very dissatisfied” and 10 means “very satisfied”), in the first quarter of 2024.
That number is down from 50.6 per cent in the third quarter of 2023 and from 54 per cent in the third quarter of 2021.
