Labour Force Surveys

As of the 1st quarter of 1972, Statistics Norway (SSB) has conducted official quarterly labour force surveys (AKU). These surveys aim to give the labour force authorities (and other people interested) knowledge of the occupational structure of the population and how it develops over time. AKU significantly changed in 1996. As from 2006 some new changes were also introduced, mainly in order to make AKU more comparable to similar surveys in other countries.

Abstract

In 2016, a survey was carried out among people aged 15-34 about their education, job search and work experience. It is a very heterogeneous group when it comes to working life. The vast majority of those under the age of 20 have education as their main activity. However, every third had a job in 2016, including part-time jobs next to school. In the age group of 20-24, less than half of the respondents reported education as their main activity. The proportion of employed 20-24 year olds was 64 percent in 2016, and half of these had a full-time job. For those aged 30-34, the employment rate was over 80 percent, which is close to the numbers of employees in the age group 35-55.
