Key Insights
- Education Impact: Higher education levels consistently show higher life satisfaction scores, with ED5-8 (tertiary education) maintaining the highest ratings around 8.0-8.3 throughout the period.
- Declining Trend: All education groups show a declining trend in life satisfaction from 2018 onwards, with the most significant drop occurring between 2021 and 2024.
- Lower Education Gap: ED0-2 (lower education) shows the lowest satisfaction scores and the steepest decline, dropping from 7.3 in 2013 to 7.2 in 2024 for the total population.
- Recent Decline: The period 2022-2024 shows particularly notable decreases across all education levels, suggesting external factors affecting overall well-being.
- Education as Buffer: Higher education appears to provide some protection against declining life satisfaction, with ED5-8 maintaining relatively stable scores compared to lower education levels.
