3. Europe and South Asia were hit particularly hard in 2021 by COVID-19 waves. 11% of employees in South Asia are thriving — the lowest regional wellbeing in the world. Both South Asia (which includes India) and Europe dropped 5 percentage points in wellbeing in the past year. South Asia had the lowest wellbeing in the world at 11%. Although Gallup surveys were delivered shortly after COVID-19 variant waves, the results show just how shaken these regions were. When measuring wellbeing, Gallup asks respondents two questions: 1) how they rate their current life and 2) how they expect their life to be five years from now. In South Asia and Europe, both these evaluations went down. This means that not only did workers in these regions feel their current life was worse, but their hope for the future dropped as well. In addition, reported health problems increased by 4 percentage points in Europe, even as they fell in the majority of regions around the world, according to additional Gallup analysis. Note: Employed women in South Asia reported the highest levels of daily anger and being disrespected in the world in 2021. - - - - - - - - - - - Copyright © 2022 Gallup, Inc. All rights reserved.
