Perhaps unsurprisingly the poll found a strong correlation between income and the likelihood that people felt life was fair. While only 57% of people with a family income of less than 49,000 USD/44,000 EUR annually felt life was fair, 81% of those with a income of more than 123,000 USD/110,000 EUR, felt life was fair. 

Icelanders also grow more likely to appreciate the fairness of life with growing age. 60% of people 18-29 years old feel life is fair, while 83% who are older than 68 feel life is fair.
