The Labour Force Survey, 2023 (Pensions and labour market participation)

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.

The module collects information on receiving a pension, whether individuals combine work and pension, as well as the reasons for working or not. The purpose of the module is to map labour market participation among individuals aged 50 to 74.
