Percentage of U.S. respondents who cited rising authoritarianism as a concern.

Global Issues

Climate change is a big problem for the entire planet, but U.S.-based respondents also highlighted rising authoritarianism, while Ukraine-neighboring Poland is understandably worried about geopolitical tensions.

And while you might assume younger generations are more progressive, it's striking to see that this is not necessarily the case here, at least not regarding a few key issues.

Under-20 respondents are the most likely to state that lack of free speech and erosion of traditional values are major issues, while being the least likely to state that rising intolerance was one – all of which tends to align with modern conservative political viewpoints.

Older demographics also tend to be more concerned about rising authoritarianism, with over-40 age groups placing it as their top concern overall.

Finally, women are over-represented among respondents citing healthcare access as one of their top priorities, which again echoes ongoing political concerns especially in the U.S.

Happiness Factors

Good health may be the most important happiness factor globally, but India and Russia stand out for also valuing career progress quite highly, as well as wealth and material possessions in the case of Russia.

When looking at demographic factors, non-binary respondents placed hobbies first and family much lower than men and women; and plotting happiness factors against age reveals that as respondents age, friendships and hobbies are often replaced with family.

Number of respondents who cited Japan as a potential relocation destination.

Relocation

Japan tops the overall rankings of places developers would most like to relocate to, although breaking things down by respondent country reveals that respondents also tend to favor geographically close destinations or countries that share their language.

If you had the opportunity to live in another country for a few years, where would you like to go?

Overall Happiness

Respondents are overall relatively happy, but median happiness drops when respondents don't get enough (or get too much) sleep.

And while absolute income does not seem to impact happiness, seeing an income decrease certainly does; and so does not being in a relatiomship.

Overall, how happy are you these days?
