Significance There is surprisingly little research on the overall-well-being impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. What exists typically covers limited geographies and periods or outcomes other than subjective well-being. This study overcomes these limitations to demonstrate that the ups and downs of the pandemic have been matched by corresponding inverse movements in life satisfaction across all of Europe. This result, based on within-year impacts, contrasts with the most closely related studies that found, on average, little or no effect—likely due to the use of annual data.
