Londoners lag in happy index
People in London and the West Midlands are less satisfied with their lives and more anxious than those in other areas of the UK, while married people are generally more satisfied than those who co-habit, new data from the Office of National Statistics (ONS) show.
They attempt to show how satisfied people are with their lives, as part of a programme to measure national well-being.
They reveal differences in people’s “happiness” according to a variety of factors, including sex, employment, age, marital status and ethnic background.
