Only every fourth Russian believes that children today live happier lives than he did as a child. This was reported by RIA Novosti with reference to the SuperJob study for Children's Day.
According to the survey, 24% of respondents consider the childhood of today's children to be happier. 52% of Russians hold the opposite opinion. Another 24% found it difficult to answer.
Among survey participants under 35, almost half believe that children today are no happier than previous generations. Among Russians over 45 years old, 58% answered this way. Parents more often evaluate the lives of modern children positively. Among those who have children, 32% consider their current childhood happier. Among respondents without children, only 16% think so.
Analysts note that Russians often tend to idealize their own childhood and critically evaluate the life of the new generation.
“Today’s children may have more opportunities for toys, sweets, and cartoons, but this does not mean that they are happier,” says one of the comments from study participants.
The survey was conducted among 1,600 economically active Russians over 18 years of age.
