Taken as a whole, staying much the same. In some countries, living conditions are getting worse because of overpopulation, disease, famine, war, exploitation and so on. But this has always happened. There is less slavery but just as much suffering. In other countries, the quality of life is improving, but this has led to more existential and mental suffering. There are happy people in poor countries and unhappy people in rich countries. There is nothing new under the sun.
