Living conditions and quality of life among homosexual men and women in Norway, 1999

The NOVA report about living conditions and life quality among lesbian women and homosexual men consists of three parts: An overview over earlier Scandinavian research on this topic, a survey about attitudes towards lesbians and homosexuals in the population, and an empirical survey of living conditions and life quality among lesbians and homosexuals based on post-enquete survey (N=2987) and interviews (N=23). 38 per cent of the respondents in the post-enquete survey are women.

The following three questions form the point of departure of the discussion in the main part (part III): Has lesbian women's and homosexual men's life situation improved over the last decades? Has lesbian women and homosexual men's living conditions and life quality decreased more than the general population? Which groups within the lesbian/ homosexual population has better and who has worse conditions?

This is data from the empirical survey.
