Study title

Statistics Norway has carried out level of living surveys since 1973, and from 1996 surveys have been carried out annually. The Level of Living Survey on the topic of working conditions had previously been carried out in 1996, 2000, 2003, 2006, 2009, 2013, 2016 and 2019. The Level of Living Survey on Working Conditions aims to map different working environment conditions among employees in Norway. The survey now takes place every 3 years, and covers topics such as attachment to the workplace, physical, chemical and ergonomic working environment, psychosocial working environment, work-related health problems and sickness absence and requirements and opportunities for self-determination at work. For the Level of Living Survey on Working Conditions 2022, a nationally representative sample of approximately 35 000 people aged 18-66 was drawn. Data was collected using telephone interviews and a self-administered web form in the period August 2022 to April 2023. In Statistics Norway, the Division for income and living conditions statistics has the professional responsibility for the survey, the data collection is carried out by the Division for personal surveys. This version of the Level of Living Survey on Working Conditions 2022 includes more detailed information about industry than the main file. The data file can be used to create NOAs industry classification. To preserve anonymity, the data file contains less registry variables and the age variable is grouped.
