Subjects were asked to express their level of satisfaction with each opportunity on 4-point scale. They also had to choose three most important opportunities for themselves. The questionnaire was administered to a representative sample of adult inhabitants of Zagreb (N=748), 367 immigrants and 381 domicile residents. The ANOVA and discriminant analysis were conducted. The differences in general satisfaction, as well as those considering the specific opportunity, are discussed in relation to the relevant sample characteristics.
