Study title

Statistics Norway's (SSB) Level of living - cross-section study (with rotating themes) have as it's primary objective to, over time, cover all important issues concerning the level of living. The topics have rotated in the following way: Working conditions in 1996, 2000, 2003, 2006 and 2009; Living conditions, community and leisure in 1997, 2001, 2004 and 2007; Health in 1998, 2002, 2005 and 2008. In 2006 the survey was expanded to include a larger selection, and it was also established as a panel investigation. The changes were primarily made in order to break down professions and partly groups within the professions. The same survey was conducted in 2009, but also supplemented for 17 -, 18 -, and 19 year olds as well as immigrants.
