title: From consensus to conflict and variety? On the increase in user-directed personal assistance - In depth interviews, 2002

description: User-controlled personal assistance (BPA) has since 1994 had trial status through state action plans for the disabled. The number of users has increased rapidly until today. 1 May 2000 a change in the Social Services Act came in effect, stating that BPA is an initiative local authorities are required to have among its services. Tensions and conflicts of interest related to BPA which has scarcely been expressed in the trial, is expected to get stronger upon scaling up the service. Tensions have only rarely been taken up in connection with legislating BPA and will be reflected in the implementation by the solutions of which are left to the municipalities. Tensions can in various ways be linked to issues of whether BPA should be a system where the user control is kept strictly upheld or whether to develop pragmatic solutions that can be customized to wider audiences and municipal organization and practice. Specifically, they will be expressed in relation to questions about the scope and composition of the BPA, how the target group is delimited, how BPA is organized and how the assistants are recruited and what kind of working conditions they are provided. The project will elucidate through surveys and interviews with users of BPA and municipalities implementing the scheme.

title: Consequences of Cash Benefits for Children in Immigrant Families, 2000

description: It has been a public goal to encourage increased use of kindergartens among children with ethnic minority background. When the cash benefit program was introduced, it was criticized for the possibility of having opposite effects. On the basis of this problem, three questions have been adressed in the FAFO-report "Kontantstøttens konsekvenser for barn i innvandrerfamilier, 2000": 1. Is the share of parents who receive cash benefits larger among ethnical minorities than in the majority population? 2. Do cash benefits lead to reduced usage of kindergartens among one and two-year old children with ethnical minority background? 3. Do cash benefits lead to altered usage of kindergartens among children in the age between three and six year with ethnical background, in families where they receive cash benefits? The survey is based on interviews of 442 parents of young children, living in Oslo or Akershus. The parents had ethnical background in Norway, Pakistan, Somalia or Vietnam. The groups are chosen in order to include the largest minority groups at the same time as it was preferable to include typical refugee groups and immigrant-/family reunion groups. In general we also knew that the various ethnical groups choose different child care services and this was accounted for.

title: Growing up with a disability - children. 2007

description: This dataset is related to the the survey "Disabled Persons' Childhood and Level of Living", conducted by Jan Tøssebro, Hege Lundeby and Christian Wendelborg at NTNU. The background for the project is the political alterations of the services directed towards persons with strong physical or mental disabilities. Integration and normalization have been central political goals during the last decades. The objective has been to move away from a situation where disabled persons becomes segregated and marginalized in society. Since then, wide-ranging reforms have been implemented. Today's norm (also reflected in legislation) is that disabled persons should be able to live a life that is as normal as possible. Thus, it is exciting following the "post-integration generation", the children growing up after the integration and normalization period. The dataset consists of a questionnaire answered by 99 children with a disability.

title: Relation between pronunciation skills and integration of immigrants and refugees, 2004

description: Many studies show that a number of immigrants in Norway are marginalized in society. This is partly due to difficulty in entering the labor market. Researchers agree that language skills are necessary to be integrated within society, but the results are not definitive when it comes to immigrants norwegian language skills and employers' recruitment decisions. The project looks at the relationship between second language skills and economic integration. Linguistic and sociolinguistic analysis of immigrants' language knowledge and language attitudes of employers form the stock for the conclusions. Immigrants Norwegian skills are analyzed in relation to different variables, for example. language, education, etc. The emphasis of the study deals with pronunciation skills, as we assume that this is the most important factor in language skills and integration. People are often judged by the way they talk rather than the content of what they say, and pronunciation can have a stigmatizing effect on different ethnic groups. In addition, inadequate pronunciation might lead to direct misunderstandings and communication failures. Attitudes to grammar errors are also examined. Employers are recruited from small and large, municipal, state and private companies. The project workers have drawn inspiration and knowledge of the field through long stay abroad at universities in the United States and Hong Kong. The results will be rated as basic research and will be useful for government and education sectors.

title: Religion, 2008, Norwegian part of ISSP

description: This survey is conducted on the basis of the research work in "The International Social Survey Programme" (ISSP). ISSP is an international organization where members develop and coordinate annual surveys, mainly in the fields of political science and sociology. The topics of the surveys vary, but topics are replicated every few years so that it is possible to measure the changes in patterns of behavior and attitudes over time and differences between countries and cultures. In 1989, the Norwegian Social Science Data Services (NSD) became member of the ISSP and NSD has since been responsible for conducting the survey in Norway. In 2008, the goal was to collect data on religion.

title: The Care and Work Survey, 2007, Sample One

description: In this report one looks at the commitments and problems people meet every day outside work, and how these can working life behavior. The survey concentrates on family commitments which comes into existence late in working life, when the parents of the employer are elderly and needs help. The national survey of 2007 sheds light on the following questions: How common is it for employers in the age group 45-65 to be in a tight situation between work and care taking obligation for old parents? To what degree influences the care taking obligations the working life behavior? What kind of support do the public and the workplace give, and what kind of support are needed? This is the first sample

title: ICT, disability and employment, 2008

description: The project will focus on the following main issues : 1 ) What public policy measures are designed to make use of ICT -based tools that can promote the employment of disabled people in Norway , the UK, Netherlands and Denmark ? 2 ) How is diffusion organized in the comparison countries? 3) What specific ICT -tools/aids are mostly used by people with visual, hearing or restricted movement in the comparison countries? To what extent does the use of these technologies promote workplace integration of these groups ? 4) The extent to which the users( ie, employers and employees ) needs translates to actual production of ICT products and how one can possibly ensure that user needs increasingly are communicated to the innovation community ? The issues are examined by combining different methodological approaches : a) a comparative analysis of the systems of diffusion agents in the Netherlands , England , Denmark, partially USA and Norway , based partly on interviews with users , innovators , experts, representatives of authorities and user organizations , b) analysis of the literature with emphasis on models and experiences with the organization of diffusion , c ) case studies of how some key technologies are being introduced, in order to study how the technology is being used in workplaces that have employees with disabilities , d ) provide the basis for developing evaluation- and assessment tools for the evaluation of technology e ) the establishment of a forum for ICT and universal accessibility in the workplace . The project builds on and complements the NFR project: " Disability , work and the welfare state " performed by Fafo and AFI - including utilizing informants , data and analysis from this project. We will also collaborate with NTNU.

title: Religion, 20008, Norwegian part of ISSP, additional sample Agder

description: This survey is carried out on the basis of the research collaboration in "The International Social Survey Programme" (ISSP). ISSP is an international organisation that prepares and coordinates annual surveys in its member countries, mainly within the fields of political science and sociology. The topic of the surveys varies, but are repeated at intervals of a few years. In this way, changes in behavioral patterns and attitudes over time as well as differences between countries and cultures, are possible to be detected and measured. The Norwegian Social Science Data Services (NSD) became a member of ISSP in 1989 and have since been responsible for carrying out the surveys in Norway. In connection to the survey, Norwegian researchers are invited to add supplementary questions to the Norwegian respondents. In 2008, the survey's objective was to collect data on attitudes towards religion, religious socialisation, religious affiliation, faith and own religious practice, conceptions of faith, the relationship with and between religious and secular institutions, politics, moral and ethics, participation in voluntary work. NSD and ISSP conducted a similar survey in 1991 and 1998. The Norwegian additional part was in 2008 developed in collaboration with Pål Repstad and May-Linda Magnussen, University of Agder, Knut Lundby, Universitety of Oslo Ulla Schmidt, Olaf Aagedal and Pål Ketil Botvar, KIFO. The questions in the Norwegian part deal with religious symbols/dress, religion and society, bioethics, gender roles, religion in the media. Note that the survey's response rate is very low (40%). This data file contains the additional sample of the survey. The primary sample is available in a separate file.

title: Family Changes and Consequences for Children's and Youths' Growing Up Conditions, Adults, 1995

description: "Family changes and consequences for children's and youths' growing up conditions" is a cross-discipline research project where the researchers had background from sociology, psychology, social work, child care and family therapy. The purpose of the project was to study the significance of changes in the family structure and public measures for children's and adolescents' developing conditions. Changes in the family structures are defined as "new ways to start a family, new ways of living in a family" and "new ways of reorganizing families after relationsship break-ups/divorces". The project was lead by professor Kari Moxnes. 

The sub-project "Families in relationship break-ups"  consists of a quantitative survey and several qualitative interviews. 

The survey was a regional investigation of divorces in Trondheim and Orkdal municipalities (in two years, 1992 and 1995), where one or several children under the age of 18 when the divorce took place. Trondheim was chosen because this would make previous surveys (Moxnes 1990) and new surveys comparable, and Orkdal was chosen because one sought contextual variety. Two cohorts was necessary for the sample to be sufficiently large and because it was necessary that the sample both consisted of families that were both close and distant to the divorce. 

The questionnaire was sent to both mothers and father, and one had no way of identifying how many of the respondents that had been married to eachother and had children together. Information from each respondent is thus treated as if they provided information about different children. Parents were the original units in the survey, but since the subject was "children's situation after the divorce", one made a different datafile where the children were the unit of analysis. 

286 parents wanted to be interviewed. These were contacted per phone and asked few direct questions about their current living/family situation. Parents and children that belonged to especially defined groups were thereafter sampled. In total, 114 parents and 96 children were interviewed. The children were interviewed because they belonged to different groups: Children that..

1. ... have little or no contact with the father since the divorce. 
2. ... live in families where there have been contact with the public support system during or after the divorce. 
3. ... live in two homes
4. ... have one home and live permanently with father
5.  ... have one home and live permanently with mother
6. ... live in step families

Parents belonged to the following groups: Parents that..
1. .. have chosen to share the daily custody of the children
2. .. are mothers that have the daily care of their child alone
3. .. are fathers that have little or no contact with their children
4. .. are fathers that have the daily care of their child alone
5. .. are cohabitation fathers
6. .. are homosexual cohabitation fathers

This is the data from the survey amongst parents.
