Are there more happy people or unhappy people in this world?
Who is to count?
And without counting who can answer this question?

The answer to this question is not given on the basis of counting but on the basis of nature itself.
In man's nature, the emotions of anger, pride, greed, sexual desire and fear are in greater proportions.
The emotions of forgiveness, humility, contentment, self control and fearlessness are in lesser proportions.
Some people have developed the qualities of forgiveness etc., through spiritual practice.
They become happy, but not the rest.
On the basis of this it can be said that there are more unhappy people in the world than happy people.
