This entry is an example that not having a large income can still make a country livable. The average Irish citizen earns $23,917. Although this is much higher than most of the countries in the world, the Irish’s income was lower than the average for the countries surveyed. One area where Ireland scored the highest was on the social and community part, as 96% of its citizens know someone they could rely on during times of need. This may be a big factor in the general life satisfaction of a person as humans are naturally social creatures.
