The Government’s action plan against social dumping
Regjeringens handlingsplan mot sosial dumping
The action plan is part of and is described in more detail in chapter 3.6 of the Revised National Budget for 2006.
Handlingsplanen inngår som en del av og er nærmere beskrevet i kapittel 3.6 i Revidert nasjonalbudsjett 2006.
The necessary legislative amendments will be adopted in autumn 2006 and will enter into force on 1 December.
Nødvendige lovendringer ble vedtatt høsten 2006 og satt i kraft 1. desember.
Increased resources for supervision: In the Revised National Budget for 2006 and the national Budget for 2007, more resources were allocated to the Labour Inspection Authority and the Petroleum Safety Authority Norway for use in their efforts to combat social dumping.
Øke ressursene til tilsyn: Arbeidstilsynet og Petroleumstilsynet får økte ressurser til innsatsen mot sosial dumping i Revidert nasjonalbudsjett 2006 og i statsbudsjettet for 2007.
A proposal was sent for consultation before Christmas 2006 with 22 March 2007 as the deadline for submissions.
Forslag ble sendt på høring før jul 2006 med høringsfrist 22. mars 2007.
Rules for ID cards that can make such cards an effective instrument against social dumping will be issued in autumn 2006 and the cards will be introduced in 2007.
Regler for id-kort som kan gjøre kortene til et effektivt virkemiddel mot sosial dumping fastsettes høsten 2006 og kortene vil bli tatt i bruk i løpet av 2007.
Implement measures in coastal shipping and agriculture: There are plans to re-introduce the requirement for work and residence permits for seafarers in Norwegian coastal shipping.
Gjennomføre tiltak i kystfarten og landbruket: Det tas sikte på å gjeninnføre kravet om arbeids- og oppholdstillatelser for sjøfolk i norsk kystfart.
Systematic efforts will be made to prevent social dumping in agriculture through targeted supervisory activities and information campaigns.
Det skal arbeides systematisk for å hindre sosial dumping i landbruket, ved hjelp av målrettet tilsynsinnsats og informasjonstiltak.
There will be increased focus on ensuring that such cooperation also works well at the local level.
Det skal settes økt fokus på å sikre at samarbeidet fungerer godt også lokalt.
National Programme for Norway
Nasjonalt program
2010 The European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion
2010 Det europeiske året for bekjempelse av fattigdom og sosial eksklusjon
At a meeting on 3 July 2009, the EEA Joint Committee supported the participation of the EEA/EFTA States.[3]
EØS-komiteen sluttet seg til EØS/EFTA-statenes deltakelse i møte 3. juli 2009[3].
Recognition of rights — recognising the fundamental right of people in a situation of poverty and social exclusion to live in dignity and to play a full part in society.
Anerkjennelse av rettigheter - å anerkjenne at personer som lever i fattigdom og som er sosialt ekskluderte har en grunnleggende rett til å leve et verdig liv og ta del i samfunnet fullt ut.
The European Year will also help to combat stereotypes and stigmatisation.
Det europeiske året skal også bidra til å bekjempe stereotypier og stigmatisering.
Shared responsibility and participation — increasing public ownership in social inclusion policies and actions, emphasising both collective and individual responsibility in the fight against poverty and social exclusion, as well as the importance of promoting and supporting voluntary activities.
Felles ansvar og deltakelse - øke samfunnets deltakelse i politikk og tiltak for sosial inkludering, med vekt på både det kollektive og individuelle ansvaret i kampen mot fattigdom og sosial eksklusjon, og med vekt på å fremme og støtte frivillig arbeid.
The European Year will promote the involvement of public and private actors, inter alia through proactive partnerships.
Det europeiske året skal fremme medvirkning fra offentlige og private aktører, blant annet gjennom aktiv bruk av partnerskap.
It will foster awareness and commitment and create opportunities for contributions by all citizens, in particular people with direct or indirect experience of poverty.
Dette skal gi økt bevissthet og engasjement, og gjøre det mulig for alle borgere å medvirke, særlig personer som har erfart fattigdom.
Cohesion — promoting a more cohesive society by raising public awareness of the benefits for all of a society where poverty is eradicated, fair distribution is enabled and no one is marginalised.
Inkludering - å fremme et mer solidarisk samfunn ved å gjøre allmennheten mer bevisst om at et samfunn uten fattigdom, med rettferdig fordeling og der ingen er marginalisert gagner alle.
The European Year will foster a society that sustains and develops quality of life, including quality of skills and employment, social well-being, including the well-being of children, and equal opportunities for all.
Det europeiske året skal fremme et samfunn som opprettholder og utvikler livskvalitet, inkludert kvalitet i utdanning og sysselsetting, velferd, også barns velferd, og like muligheter for alle.
It will, moreover, ensure sustainable development and solidarity between and within generations and policy coherence with EU action worldwide.
Det europeiske året skal også bidra til en bærekraftig utvikling og solidaritet mellom og innenfor generasjonene og politisk samsvar med innsatsen til EU globalt.
Commitment and concrete action — reiterating the strong political commitment of the EU and the Member States to make a decisive impact on the eradication of poverty and social exclusion and promoting this commitment and actions at all levels of governance.
Forpliktelse og konkret handling - å fornye det politiske engasjementet til EU og medlemsstatene til å ha en avgjørende betydning for utryddelsen av fattigdom og sosial eksklusjon, og å fremme engasjement og tiltak på alle styringsnivåer.
The national context
Nasjonal kontekst
1.1 National challenges
1.1 Nasjonale utfordringer
The majority of the Norwegian population have a high standard of living and good living conditions, and the income distribution is more equitable than in many other countries.
Flertallet i den norske befolkningen har høy levestandard og gode levekår, og inntektsfordelingen er jevnere enn i mange andre land.
Although income inequalities have become greater since 1990, in an international context they are still small.
Inntektsulikheten har økt i årene etter 1990, men er fortsatt lav i internasjonal sammenheng.
All sectors of the population have benefited from the rise in incomes and standards of living, but a small minority still lag behind.
Alle deler av befolkningen har nytt godt av inntekts- og velstandsutviklingen, men et lite mindretall har blitt hengende etter.
Unemployment is low (3.1%, second quarter of 2009) and labour force participation high (76.7% for men and 70.4% for women, second quarter of 2009).
Arbeidsledigheten er lav (3,1 pst., 2. kvartal 2009) og yrkesdeltakelsen er høy (76,7 pst. blant menn og 70,4 prosent blant kvinner, 2. kvartal 2009).
A small minority of the population have a persistently low income.
En liten andel av befolkningen har langvarig lav inntekt.
In the three-year period 2005–2007 the figure was 3.0%, which means that this group of persons had an average income that was below 50% of the median income according to the OECD equivalence scale.
I treårsperioden 2005-2007 hadde 3,0 prosent av befolkningen vedvarende lavinntekt målt ved 50 pst. av medianinntekten (OECD-ekvivalensskala).
This amounted to approximately 132 000 persons.
Dette tilsvarer om lag 132 000 personer.
In the same period, 8.1% of the population had an average income lower than 60% of the median income according to the EU equivalence scale, amounting to approximately 350 000 persons.
Dette tilsvarer om lag 350 000 personer.
Persons experiencing poverty in Norway today do not form particular, easily identifiable social groups; they are to be found in a wide range of groups.
Fattigdom i Norge i dag rammer ikke hele, lett identifiserbare sosiale grupper, men enkeltpersoner innenfor et bredt spekter av grupper.
In some groups there is an overrepresentation of persons with a very low income in relation to the proportion of very-low-income individuals in the population as a whole.
I enkelte grupper er det en overrepresentasjon av personer med svært lav inntekt i forhold til den andelen disse utgjør av befolkningen som helhet.
Examples are young single individuals, single parents, couples with small children, families with three or more children, immigrants, long-term unemployed, persons on long-term sick leave and long-term recipients of social assistance.
Dette gjelder blant annet unge enslige, enslige forsørgere, par med små barn og familier med tre eller flere barn, innvandrere, langtidsledige, langtidssyke og langtidsmottakere av økonomisk sosialhjelp.
Most children and young people in Norway today grow up in a good environment with good living conditions.
De aller fleste barn og unge i Norge har gode oppvekstvilkår og vokser opp under gode økonomiske kår.
However, during the three-year period 2005–2007, 4.7% of all children under 18, or approximately 45 000 children, lived in households with a persistently low income as measured by the OECD equivalence scale (50% of the median income).
I treårsperioden 2005-2007 levde likevel 4,7 pst. av alle barn under 18 år, om lag 45 000 barn, i husholdninger med vedvarende lavinntekt målt ved 50 pst. av medianinntekten (OECD-ekvivalensskala).
The corresponding proportion as measured by the EU equivalence scale (60% of the median income) was 7.3%, or approximately 70 000 children.
Tilsvarende andel ved 60 pst. av medianinntekten (EU-ekvivalensskala) var 7,3 pst., om lag 70 000 barn.
The number of children living in low-income households has increased in recent years.
Antallet barn som lever i husholdninger med lavinntekt har økt i de senere år.
