Average life satisfaction score stood at 6.8 on a scale from 0 to 10. Four of the communities analyzed reported average scores above 8, typical of Scandinavian countries. “And this despite many of these societies having suffered histories of marginalization and oppression,” adds the researcher, Eric Galbraith of the Autonomous University of Barcelona.
