Abstract: Did subjective well-being change in Japan with the prolonged restriction of activities due to the COVID-19 pandemic? Data from a Cabinet Office survey of 50,000 people from pre-pandemic times to the present were used to observe how demographic variables, economic status, connections with others, and regional amenities affected their subjective well-being. Using the most recent survey results, it is observed that applying digital technology to work, communications, and consumer behaviours increased happiness.
