Summary: | The "Level of Living" - concept in statistics/social research is originally a Swedish invention, but the modern Norwegian focus on this type of research and data collection dates back to a large-scale government initiated project from 1972. The aim is to collect data on living conditions for different social groups, with particular emphasis on low-income groups and other groups that are assumed to live under special or problematic conditions. From 1980 onwards this became a regular data collecting activity run by Statistics Norway for statistical purposes, to monitor the living conditions of norwegians. From 1996 onwards these studies were reorganised and are now carried out on an annual basis. The study in Finnmark and in fisheries communities in 1980, was a focused sub-study of the general Level of living study that year, to allow more detailed description of living conditions in that kind of communities. |
