A recent pan-European opinion poll conducted by Eurobarometer has found Europeans to be very content with their lives. On average 87% of them consider themselves happy - with a peak of 97% in Denmark. The findings are a welcome breath of fresh air after the gloominess brought on by 2005's Constitution referenda. But not all Europeans are as content as the Danes: the happiness rate tumbles to 45% in Bulgaria. And two-thirds of the 26 755 Europeans questioned believe that life for the next generation will be harder because of unemployment, uncertain pensions and a high cost of living. See survey.
