Most people felt frustrated by economic problems in 2023 although in general they were fairly happy with the year, according to the results of a survey by the National Institute of Development Administration, or Nida Poll.
The poll was conducted on Dec 12-20 by telephone interviews with 1,310 people aged 18 and over of various levels of education, occupations and incomes in all regions.
Regarding happiness, most (42.75%) of respondents said they were fairly happy with the year having been together with family members and having jobs to do without health problems or debts.
However, 27.86% said they were not happy due to the economic slump, low farm prices, high prices of goods, high cost of living, low incomes and political uncertainties.
