Data on cash-for-care

Parents of children aged 13–23 months are entitled to cash-for-care if the child does not attend a kindergarten with government-subsidised running costs. Cash-for-care is paid by NAV. The period for which cash-for-care can be paid and the amount paid have varied since this benefit was introduced in 1999.

Statistics Norway does not publish its own statistics on cash-for-care, but has for a number of years been publishing reports and articles (in Norwegian) based on analyses of data retrieved from NAV on recipients of cash-for-care.

Statistics Norway publishes statistics on Cash transfers to families with children, which provide a more comprehensive overview of different types of transfers, cash-for-care and other transfers. Data on income and transfers is also available from Statistics Norway.
