What makes you think people are “miserable?” East Asia has the lowest percentage of people who say they desire to emigrate elsewhere out of anywhere in the world: https://news.gallup.com/poll/468218/nearly-900-million-world.... Just 4%, versus 15% in North America.

A statistic showing a lack of desire to emigrate can't be equated to a happiness rating, given how political belief and other biases can be equal or greater factors.

Different cultures don’t equate “wellbeing” with “happiness” in the same way. To me, “happiness” is for children. For adults, I’d use something like “satisfaction” or “contentment.”
