Study title

Since 2009 the Confederation of Vocational Unions (YS) has worked together with the Work Research Institute (AFI) to create the Employment Outlook SUvrey. Through the years the survey has become one of the most important tools to measure status and developmental trends in the Norwegian workforce. With assistance from the researchers at AFI the current situation is explained, trends are analyzed and attempts to predict the future are made. There can be no sure conclusions about how the conditions in the workforce currently are or how they will be, but through this survey it is possible to both look at the development as a whole and study the details. The survey places old and new knowledge into a system, making it possible to view the norwegian workforce from å fresh perspective and see connections that were previously hidden. For YS and its member associations the survey provides new opportunities to assess their needs and experiences.
