Jack Kellam: “Our study was based on amalgamating lots of research that took place in Iceland . between 2015 and 2019 principally. So [it] involved over 2,000, 2,500 workers, which is in total over 1% of Iceland s entire working population. And they took place principally within the Icelandic National Government Capital Cities Council. So Reykjavik City Council.
