Mona Sandbæk and Jóna Hafdis Einarsson have written the report.
Rapporten er skrevet av Mona Sandbæk og Jóna Hafdis Einarsson.
Norway ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child on 8 January 1991.
Norge ratifiserte FNs barnekonvensjon 8. januar 1991.
All countries that have ratified the Convention undertake to report to the UN on their compliance every five years.
Alle land som har ratifisert konvensjonen har plikt til å rapportere til FN hvert femte år om sin oppfølging.
Eight municipalities were invited to obtain the views of children and young people.
Åtte kommuner ble derfor invitert til å innhente synspunkter fra barn og unge.
They were the Alna district of Oslo, Alta, Bjugn, Kautokeino, Lillesand, Sandnes, Skedsmo and Trondheim.
De åtte kommunene var Alan bydel i Oslo, Alta, Bjugn, Kautokeino, Lillesand, Sandnes, Skedsmo og Trondheim.
NOVA was asked to provide guidance for the project and to present the results in an overall report.
NOVA ble bedt om å veilede arbeidet og presentere resultatene i en samlet rapport.
Questions Children and young people were asked questions such as: Have you heard of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child?
En kortversjon er oversatt til engelsk og vil følge som vedlegg til Norges offisielle rapport ( NOVA Report 2b/08).
Do children have rights at home, at school and in the wider society?
Spørsmålene Har du hørt om FNs barnekonvensjon?
Are you happy at school?
Har barn rettigheter?
Have you been subjected to unfair treatment or discrimination?
Trives du godt på skolen?
Do you know who to contact if you need help with a health problem?
Er du blitt utsatt for urettferdig behandling eller diskriminering?
Information was obtained from a total of 1,274 children and young people.
Finnes det gode fritidstilbud i kommunen din?
NOVA´s report on children and young people´s views on their rights will be annexed to Norway´s official report to the UN.
Vet du hvem du kan kontakte dersom du trenger hjelp?
Refugee and asylum-seeking children A group that arouses particular concern is refugee and asylum-seeking children.
Dette er noen av spørsmålene som til sammen 1274 barn og unge har besvart.
This is serious feedback.
Mer opplæring om menneskerettigheter i skolen?
Conclusions The survey showed that about half of the children and young people in the participating municipalities knew of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Omtrent halvparten av barn og unge i deltakerkommunene kjente til FNs barnekonvensjon.
A higher proportion knew that they had rights.
Flere enn det visste at de hadde rettigheter.
Teaching and enforcement of children´s rights at school and in their leisure time can without doubt be improved.
Opplæringen og praktiseringen av barns rettigheter på skole og i fritida kan uten tvil forbedres.
The survey brought to light wide municipal variations.
Undersøkelsen har avdekket store kommunale variasjoner.
Hence an important conclusion is that there are no institutional safeguards to ensure that children and young people in Norway are made aware of the Convention, of their own rights and the significance to them of such rights.
En viktig konklusjon å trekke er derfor at det ikke er noen faktisk sikring av at barn og unge i Norge får kjennskap til barnekonvensjonen, sine egne rettigheter og hvilken betydning den har for dem.
Children and young people were quick to respond on the issue of deciding over their personal everyday life.
Det kan være verdt å vurdere om menneskerettighetsopplæringen må integreres i skolen og være et gjentatt tema fra barnehage til høyere utdanning.
One young person put it as follows: "Just because we have a good life doesn´t mean that we can demand everything we want.
Flyktning- og asylsøkerbarna vekker bekymring En gruppe som vekker særlig bekymring er flyktning- og asylsøkerbarna.
We also have obligations."
Dette er en alvorlig tilbakemelding.
They were also preoccupied with combating bullying and discrimination in Norway, and children´s situation in other parts of the world meant a lot to them.
Flere undersøkelser Erfaringene fra undersøkelsen peker på at landsomfattende undersøkelser i et mer standardisert format kan være aktuelle for å kartlegge barn og unges erfaringer med hvordan rettighetene deres praktiseres.

The assignment Nima was given during his second year as a bachelor student in product design at HiOA resulted in a socket outlet called Flow .
Oppgaven som Nima fikk under sitt andre år på bachelorutdanningen i produktdesign ved HiOA, resulterte i stikkontakten Flow .
The result is as simple as it is ingenious: a spiral design at the base of the outlet enables electric plugs to find their own way into the outlet.
Resultatet er like enkelt som det er genialt: En spiralform i bunnen av kontakten gjør at støpselet finner veien helt av seg selv.
A brilliant idea – not only for people with impaired motor skills; who has never found themselves struggling with phone chargers and electrical outlets in the dark?
Ikke bare glimrende for de av oss med nedsatte motoriske evner – hvem har vel ikke plundret med mobillader og stikkontakt i mørket?
- Why has no-one thought of this before?
– Hvorfor har ingen tenkt på dette før?
"It all began quite by accident.
– Det begynte egentlig litt tilfeldig.
I was trying to plug in my laptop, and sat there fumbling around.
Jeg prøvde å koble til strømmen på den bærbare datamaskinen min, og ble sittende og fomle.
Then it occurred to me that this minor irritation in my everyday life must pose a major problem for others," says the product designer from Nittedal.
Det slo meg at dette lille irritasjonsmomentet i min hverdag måtte være et stort problem for andre, sier produktdesigneren fra Nittedal.
Once he had submitted his paper, this energetic designer had a few very hectic years in store.
Etter innlevering fulgte hektiske år for den energiske designeren.
Among other things, Nima's Flow won the Norwegian Design Council's Design for All category in the Young Talents Award the following spring.
Blant annet vant Nima Unge talenters Design for alle-konkurranse fra Norsk Designråd med Flow våren etter.
The jury's citation stated: "Flow is a simple and ingenious idea.
– Flow er en enkel og genial idé.
We wonder why no-one has thought of it before.
Vi lurer på hvorfor ingen har tenkt på dette før.
It should set a new standard for electrical outlets."
Det bør sette en ny standard for stikkontakter, het det blant annet i juryens kjennelse.
Anne Lindo from the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation wondered the same thing, and the following Saturday night she invited Nima to her TV show along with alpine skier Axel Lund Svindal and the Progress Party's Siv Jensen.
Hvorfor ingen hadde tenkt på dette før, lurte også NRKs Anne Lindmo på, og satte Nima i TV-studiostolen sammen med alpinisten Axel Lund Svindal og FrPs Siv Jensen påfølgende lørdagskveld i april.
Since then, it might seem as if things have gone quiet around Flow, but its designer has been busy behind the scenes conducting negotiations and dealing with legal challenges.
Så kunne det virke som det stilnet litt rundt Flow, men for produktdesignstudenten startet et arbeid i kulissene preget av harde forhandlinger og juridiske utfordringer.
Norwegian technology company's jewel in the crown
Norsk teknologiselskap kroner verket
The contract was signed early one Tuesday morning in September.
Kontrakten ble signert en tidlig tirsdagsmorgen sent i september.
The identity of the buyer, which has been kept secret since then, has now been made public: HomeControl AS, a Norwegian technology company that develops smart solutions for controlling energy consumption.
Kjøperen, som har vært hemmeligholdt siden da, er nå offentlig: HomeControl AS, et norsk teknologiselskap som jobber med utvikling av smarte løsninger for styring av strøm.
The company, which is based in Ås in Follo municipality, will not disclose the buying price, but admits that it runs into the millions.
Follo-firmaet med tilhold i Ås vil ikke ut med kjøpesummen, men innrømmer at det dreier seg om et millionbeløp.
The company's marketing director believes that Flow is the final jewel in their crown.
Markedsdirektøren mener de med Flow har fått satt kronen på verket sitt.
"We're far from being the only supplier of smart home technology.
– Vi er langt i fra alene om beinet som leverandører av smarthus-teknologi.
And it takes more than an app to stand out from the crowd in this market.
Og det skal mer enn en app til for å skille seg ut i dette markedet.
You need a complete solution.
Man må ha en helhet.
We've managed to create that on our platform, and Flow provides us with some much-needed design and function," says Yngvar Pettersen, Marketing Director in HomeControl AS.
Det har vi laget på plattformen vår, og med Flow får vi sårt tiltenkt design og funksjon, forteller markedsdirektør Yngvar Pettersen i HomeControl AS.
Will sell well
Tror på god butikk
"This has been and still is strategic for us.
– Dette har vært og er strategisk for oss.
And we're also delighted to have what may be Norway's best, most ambitious and unconventional designers on our team."
Vi er dessuten svært glade for å ha Norges kanskje råeste, ambisiøse og utradisjonelle designer med på laget.
HomeControl is confident that its partnership with Nima will prove profitable.
HomeControl er sikker på at samarbeidet med Nima vil bli god butikk.
Pettersen compares buying Flow with Google's entrance into the same market earlier this year.
Pettersen sammenlikner anskaffelsen av Flow med Googles inntreden på det samme markedet tidligere i år.
The internet giant bought the Nest thermostat for 3.2 billion dollars.
Nettgiganten kjøpte termostaten Nest for 3,2 milliarder dollar.
"Nest is a prime example of good design.
– Nest er prakteksemplaret på god design.
But there are lot more socket outlets in the world's homes than there are thermostats.
Men det er vanvittig mange flere stikkontakter enn det er termostater i verdens hjem.
That's why we bought Flow," says Pettersen.
Derfor kjøpte vi Flow, forklarer markedsdirektør Yngvar Pettersen.

MILLION-KRONER CONTRACT: The Flow electric outlet is the result of a college assignment during Nima Shahinian's product design studies at HiOA.
MILLIONKONT(R)AKT: Stikkontakten Flow er et resultat av en skoleoppgave på produktdesignutdanningen ved HiOA.
The designer and master student has now sold the outlet for an undisclosed amount running into the millions.
Nå har designer og masterstudent Nima Shahinian solgt kontakten for et ukjent millionbeløp.

Statistics Norway carried out the interviews.
CD-spiller, ski/snowboard, sykkel enn "andre barn".
The survey consists of two samples: a low-income sample, made up of families who had incomes below the EU poverty line in 2000, and the control sample, consisting of families from across the income distribution.
I de familiene hvor foreldrene oppgir at økonomien er strammest, finner en også langt flere barn som oppgir at økonomien er dårlig.

The book analyzes how the relationship between citizens and the welfare state changes as a result of Europeanization and individualization.
Boken analyserer hvordan forholdet mellom borgere og velferdsstat endrer seg som følge av individualisering, mer åpne grenser og en nærmere Europa-tilknytning.
The book maintains that the ongoing changes in the in the European welfare states, including the Nordic ones, call for a new, dynamic and multifaceted understanding of social citizenship.
Endringer i europeiske velferdsstater, inkludert de nordiske, krever en ny, dynamisk og mangesidig forståelse av sosialt medborgerskap, hevder forskerne bak boken.
Relations between citizens and welfare states are now to a greater extent involving issues of rights and duties, self-responsibility and choice, participation and self-government at the same time.
Forholdet mellom borgerne og velferdsstaten innebærer i større grad enn tidligere, at rettigheter og plikter, personlig ansvar og valg, deltakelse og selvstendighet blir satt i fokus på samme tid.
The contents of citizenship are increasingly influenced by interactions between national and supranational levels of governance, the authors claim.
I større utstrekning enn før ser vi at innholdet i det sosiale medborgerskapet blir påvirket av samhandlingen mellom nasjonale og overnasjonale styringsnivåer, understreker Hvinden og Johansson.
Citizenship in Nordic Welfare States.
I boken Citizenship in Nordic Welfare States.
Dynamics of choice, duties and participation brings together an interdisciplinary team of reseachers (social science, law and philosophy) who examines the transformation of social citizenship through a series of illuminating case studies, comparing Nordic countries and other European nations.
Dynamics of choice, duties and participation bidrar en tverrfaglig gruppe av forskere fra samfunnvitenskap, jus og filosofi med artikler som belyser endringer i sosialt medborgerskap ved hjelp av inngående undersøkelser av enkeltområder og sammenlikninger av nordiske og andre europeiske land.
The book deals with the following areas of national and European welfare policy, legislation and practice:
Boken tar opp følgende tema innen nasjonal og europeisk velferdspolitikk, lovgivning og praksis:
Activation - reforms linking income maintenance and employment promotion
"Aktivering" - reformer som knytter inntektssikring til tiltak for å fremme yrkesdeltakelse
The scope for participation of marginal groups in deliberation and decision-making
Inkludering av marginale grupper i samfunnsdebatt og beslutningsprosesser
The impact of human rights legislation and social barriers to equal market participation
Samordning av nasjonale trygdesystemer for å fremme mobilitet over landegrensene i Europa
The co-ordination of social security systems to facilitate cross-border mobility in Europe
Pensjonsreformer - bestrebelser på å gjøre pensjonssystemer bæredyktige og samtidig fremme individuelt ansvar og valgfrihet
Pension reform - efforts to make pension systems sustainable
