Singaporeans pessimistic about overall well-being

While people in Asia Pacific were generally optimistic towards their overall well-being (62.1), those in Singapore (58.6), Hong Kong (58.6), and Malaysia (54.9) lagged behind.

According to the latest Mastercard Well-Being Index, those in emerging markets (65.5) showed higher resilience and satisfaction than others in developed markets (56.7).

Leading the region with an overall well-being index score of 75.0 is India, followed by Philippines (73.0) at second place and Indonesia (71.4) in third.

On the flip side, owing to deep entrenchment in a culture of overtime and high levels of work-related stress, APAC's developed economies have struggled to advance out of neutral territory with Japan (50.4) and Korea (52.1) ranked the lowest for overall well-being.
