据皮尤研究中心近来发布的一项研究显示，新兴经济体的人们比过去快乐的多。他们的自我幸福感已与发达国家的人们不相上下。在新兴经济体幸福指数排名中，中国位列第七。

Pewglobal.org: People in emerging economies are considerably more satisfied with their lives today than they were in 2007.

A Pew Research Center survey finds that publics in emerging nations now rival those in advanced economies in their self-reported well-being. The rise in happiness among middle income countries is driven in large part by attitudes in Asian nations, such as China, Indonesia and Malaysia.

People in developing economies are also happier today than they were seven years ago, though the improvement has been more modest.
