CWWH Lunch Seminar – Global Flourishing Study: How are Swedes really doing?

Sweden is often celebrated as one of the happiest countries in the world – but what does life here really look like beneath the headlines? Drawing on one of the most comprehensive wellbeing studies ever conducted, this seminar explores how Swedes experience different aspects of their lives, including happiness, purpose, relationships, health, distress, and financial security.

How does life in Sweden compare with life elsewhere? And are all groups within Sweden thriving equally?

In the seminar, Nora Hansson Bittár will present the national results from the Global Flourishing Study, a joint effort between the Center for Wellbeing, Welfare, and Happiness (CWWH) at the Stockholm School of Economics, Lund University, and Harvard University.

The findings, presented here for the first time, show that while Swedes enjoy high levels of wellbeing across different domains, many young adults report lower wellbeing than their grandparents.

When: Wednesday, October 8 | 12:00–13:00
Where: Stockholm School of Economics, Sveavägen 65, Room A750 (and online)
Lunch will be provided for in-person participants
