title: Guidance and skills development in the labour market, 2001

description: In today's society workers meet demands to competence which largely involves the ability to adapt in response to new tasks and challenges. They have to grow and learn in their daily work to gain access to employment - where the demands of the workers are constantly changing. This project focuses on the learning and skills needed in the workplace. It focuses on the educational and training needs of employees in a range of companies within automotive, health, crafts and trade businesses. Two groups are given special attention: immigrants and apprentices. The project deals with the results of a survey, interviews and observational studies.

Various sectors have been studied with respect to employees' background, affiliation to the work and knowledge of potential trainers and training programs in the workplace.

It was found that for the workers space to act and relationships were important. One found that characteristics such as belonging, freedom, working and influence were characteristics that were considered more important than characteristics such as career, creativity and commitment.

title: Welfare and level of living among the very frail elderly, 2000

description: This dataset is from the study "Welfare and level of living among the very frail elderly". 

The data are collected through questionnaires and face-to-face interviews. The study deals with service receivers over 70 years of age from 16 municipalities. The elderly people in the sample live either in nursing homes, retirement homes, houses which are adapted or in their own homes. The aim of the study is to give a comprehensive account of the information gathered about this group's living conditions and welfare. Furthermore the study has three main goals:

1. To describe living conditions and welfare among elderly people who are very depedent on being helped. The study gives a simple description of who the most frail service users are, what kind of help and services they receive and what needs they have and how they are.
2. To study the connections between boform and living conditions/welfare among very help-dependent elderly people receiving services.
3. To find relevant and useful indicators of living conditions and welfare for very help-dependent elderly people receiving services.

In the file information provided by the elderly people themselves is indicated with "2" in the end of the variable name. Variables with names without a number in the end contain information provided by each user's primary nurse/care giver.

Two types of questionnaires were developed. One to each user's primary nurse/care giver. One to the elderly person him/her-self.
Only the elderly who were able to give their consent were interviewed. Those interviewed:
- in nursing homes 37,7 %
- in retirement homes 66,7%
- in adapted houses/housing 66,0%
- among elderly living at home 58,6%

Somewhat different versions of the questionnaires were developed for those living in retirement homes, adapted houses and at home respectively - all in all 2x3 questionnaires. Most of the questions were identical, but some questions are only posed to those living in retirement homes, for instance. 

Researcher Britt Slagsvold at Norwegian Social Research (NOVA) was the leader of the project and Marit Lauvli project co-worker until autumn 1998. The study was financed by the Research Council of Norway with funds from the Mininstry of Social Affairs and Health.

title: Income Study 2000, household file

description: Statistics Norway (SSB) conducted wide-ranging Income Studies in 1958, 1962, 1967, 1970, 1973, 1976, 1979 and 1982. As of 1984, SSB moved to a system of annual surveys. This entailed changes, more in terms of sample size and sampling method than the type of information that was gathered. The information is mainly decided by what is available in public tax assessment records. The Income Studies should not be considered ordinary sample surveys, they are based on a sample drawn from registers from the Norwegian equivalent to the Internal Revenue Service. This means that foreign citizens would be part of the sample if they are registered in the Central Person Register, which they will normally be if they have valid work and residence permits. Children born during the year in question will be included in the sample regardless of birth date, and so will persons dying that the year. The objective of the Income Studies have been to elucidate the income conditions for the entire population and for different groups. A main point is to gather statistics on households that live and eat together, as well as getting an overview of the distribution of persons and households by size of income, socio-economic groups, household type, geography etc. Another objective is to collect income and fortune data as a backdrop for the Level of Living and Consumer surveys. Information is gathered om all types of income, fortune, taxes, income for individuals and households. Some information is added from other registers (amongst others, marital status and family composition, whilst information on household composition is gathered through interviews. In addition, one generally includes information on education, profession and occupation for individuals and household composition, type and primary income recipients for the households. There exist both a household file and a person file. These are documented separately. This is the household file.

title: The welfare state and local authorities. Evaluation of the action plan for the elderly 1998-2001

description: The project is a study of the implementation of "the Action plan for welfare services for the elderly" in the 24 municipalities of the county Nord-Trøndlag. Both the processes the action plan put in motion in the municipalities, and the specific results of it are investigated. Focus has been on the conditions the municipalities had to carry out the Action plan, internal discussions in the municipalities with regard to different solutions and the relationship between different municipal initiatives and governmental steering. Here the speed of development in the new initiatives were emphasized, whihch buildings that were chosen and where these were built.

The Action plan for welfare services for the elderly's goals were to strengthen the home based services, develop further the care home sector, increase the nursing home capacity and arrange for single rooms in nursing homes for all that wanted it. All these golas were reached on a national level, something which is rare in such big national reforms. However it turned out that the central authorities' ideas about functionality and running of new care homes and nursing homes were modified. In the report "Velferdsstat og velferdskommune. Iverksettingen av «Handlingsplan for eldreomsorgen» i kommunene i Nord-Trøndelag" it is documented how theses ideals changed when facing everyday reality in the municipalities of Nord-Trøndelag county.


The dataset is made up of four components:
                   1- Field studies
                   2- Interviews with local decision-makers in the municipality
                   3- Information on service receivers in institutions and homes.
                   4- Data on the municipalities from public registers.

The present study includes recent graduates from the University of Bergen (UiB) and Bergen University College (HiB) and gives an overall picture of the labor market situation for these. The graduates represent graduate and professional studies from the University of Bergen, HiB by professional studies, as well as candidates with undergraduate degree from the Faculty of Social Sciences (SV) and the Faculty of Arts (HF) at UiB. The majority of the candidates have studied full time. Candidates at UiB are more dissatisfied with the educational institution adaptations for the transition to the labor market. Most people with university education state that there is interest in the subjects that have been most important in the choice of study. For those who have taken professional education is the desire to make interesting work that has been most important. Three out of five would choose the same education if they had to choose today.
