Living conditions and social participation

Projects

• Analysis of Norwegian Generations and Gender Survey

  The Norwegian Generations and Gender Survey was carried out in 2007-2008 and Statistics Norway and Norwegian Social Research were responsible for the Survey.

• Early Intervention and Social Mobility. Improving the Opportunities of Disadvantaged Children

• Gender and partnership dynamics

  The main goal of this project is to study various patterns of gender-equality attitudes and practices among Norwegian couples and to analyse how such patterns and other factors drive the changes in gender relations and partnership dynamics. The project will use a new survey (LOGG) which include both individual and contextual data.

• Hooks for change? Family and employment as pathways to social inclusion among crime-prone individuals

  Empirically investigate how labour market involvement and family events interact in promoting social integration and reduce crime among crime-prone individuals at the fringes of society.

• Mobilizing unutilised labour reserves: the role of part-time work and extended employment interruptions

  Norwegian women have a high employment level, but at the same time one of the highest part-time rates in Europe as well as in the Nordic countries, and part-time is common among women at all stages of the life cycle. At the same time a substantial proportion is absent from work due to childbirth and child-care. This project will explore the potential labour supply reserve among these groups, distinguishing barriers that may prevent and measures that may promote increased labour supply.
