The Labour Force Survey, 2021 (Labour market situation of migrants and their immediate descendants)

Statistics Norway established the Labor Force Survey (LFS) in 1972, and it has been conducted quarterly ever since. The LFS measures the population's participation in the labor market and provides comprehensive information on unemployment, employment, people outside the labor force, temporary employees, underemployed and other subgroups that are not captured by register-based statistics. This makes the LFS one of the most important sources of information about conditions in the Norwegian labor market.

This module aims to capture factors that influence immigrants' integration and experiences in the Norwegian labour market. It covers key topics such as education, work experience, and job satisfaction, as well as challenges related to discrimination, language skills, and participation in Norwegian language training. The dataset also includes questions related to job access, such as whether individuals have experienced difficulties finding work, and whether job transitions involve changes in skill requirements. The goal is to provide insight into conditions affecting employment, integration, and social inequalities.
