Germans are the gloomiest people in Europe according to a major new study of the 27 nations in the European Union.
The report, released by the European Commission, confirms what many Germans had themselves long suspected — they are masters of moaning.
Asked if life would be better in 20 years time, just 20 percent of Germans could bring themselves to agree. In happy-go-lucky Estonia, which topped the chart, 78 percent of people look at the future through rose-tinted spectacles.
“Estonian citizens were the most optimistic,”noted the report, which polled 25,000 people across the EU. “The Germans, on the other hand, were the least optｉmistic — only one in five expected that life in Germany would improve in the long-term.”
Britons were revealed as a touch more sceptical about future prospects than the average European, 49 percent of whom think life will be worse in 20 years.The study focused on “quality of life” issues such as schooling and job prospects, age of retirement and whether people would be able to afford medical costs or even a reasonable place to live.
It found that while new members of the EU, mostly from central and eastern Europe, were mostly of the view that life would get better and better, established members of the EU were almost all miserable. Of pre-2004 EU members only the Irish and the Swedes managed to look on the bright side of life.
In fact, length of EU membership appears strongly related to a gloomy outlook. The six founder members of the EU occupy four of the five bottom spots on the fｕture happiness chart, aｃcorｄing the poll. While Geｒmans are the most mired in dｅspair, they are closely followed by the Belgians, the Luxembourgers and the French.
對歐盟27個國家開展的一項(xiàng)最新大型調(diào)查顯示，德國人最悲觀。
歐盟委員會發(fā)布的這一報告證實(shí)了長期以來人們對德國人的猜測——他們的確過于哀怨。
在被問及“是否相信20年后生活會更美好”時，僅有20％的德國人持肯定態(tài)度。而在此次調(diào)查中名列榜首的無憂無慮的愛沙尼亞，有78%的人是戴著玫瑰色的眼鏡看未來的。
報告指出：“愛沙尼亞人最樂觀，而德國人最悲觀——只有五分之一的人預(yù)料明天會更好?！边@份報告是對歐盟成員國的2.5萬人進(jìn)行調(diào)查后編撰而成的。
調(diào)查顯示，與普通歐洲人相比，英國人對未來更加懷疑，有49%的人認(rèn)為20年后的生活會比現(xiàn)在糟糕。該調(diào)查著重“生活質(zhì)量”問題，涉及教育、就業(yè)前景、退休年齡、醫(yī)療支出及住房等一系列問題。
調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，來自中歐和東歐的歐盟新成員國大多認(rèn)為生活會越來越好，而歐盟老成員國則普遍比較悲觀。在2004年以前加入歐盟的成員國中，只有愛爾蘭人和瑞典人的生活態(tài)度比較樂觀。
事實(shí)上，一個國家加入歐盟的時間越長，其國民對未來越悲觀。調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，排在“幸福期望”排行榜最后五位的國家中，歐盟六個創(chuàng)始國就占了四個。在這四個國家中，德國人最悲觀，其后依次是比利時人、盧森堡人和法國人。
