The article notes that today's youth is more content than earlier generations, so the comparison pertinent to the headline of the article is through time within Japan.

Assuming culture, phrasing, language, etc remain constant.

I know today's Japanese youth and young adults are not very open or honest with their emotions, especially with respect to sharing negative feelings. How that compares to the past, I don't know. It could very well be the same, but take the article's claims with a grain of salt. I just know that I've personally met an unfortunate number of Japanese who are depressed and disaffected.
