| **Life satisfaction (mean 0-10)** | **see CSV** | 90% | 2025 |
|
|
| **People: life has meaning (%)** | **see CSV** | 85% | 2025 |
|
|
|
|
**One-liner:** Eurostat wellbeing data shows Germany's subjective meaning levels and life satisfaction trends.
|
|
|
|
**Caveat:** EHIS survey conducted every ~5 years — data points are sparse, not annual.

## Quick Context
|
|
|
|
Eurostat's subjective wellbeing indicators (ilc_pw series) provide the closest official measure of meaning and life satisfaction at the national level. Germany's scores track broader EU trends but with characteristic German understatement in self-reporting (tendency toward middle responses). These are direct indicators for PR-00001 (Meaning Crisis).
