A survey conducted on behalf of the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation (SBC) seems to show a satisfied society, but not everyone feels the same. Learn more and discuss this topic, and many others, on “dialogue”, a place where you can take part in the conversation.

Most of the respondents are happy and satisfied with their lives. This is shown by a survey conducted by the SBC of more than 57,000 people in the spring of 2023. Around 61% of the respondents say they are doing well or very well, and only 5% describe themselves as not satisfied. However, psychological factors should be taken into consideration, as well as the reluctance of individuals who are dissatisfied to participate in surveys.

With “dialogue”, the SBC brings you a selection of articles from around Switzerland and from all the SBC national editorial offices (SRF, RTS, RTR, SWI and RSI) on a variety of topics and themes.
