The Labor Force Survey 2010, additional survey on care obligations

Statistics Norway has carried out official quarterly labor force surveys (AKU) from and including the 1st quarter of 1972. The purpose is to give the labor authorities and other interested parties knowledge of the occupational structure of the population and the development over time. The surveys will provide a basis and statistical material for occupational forecasts and labor market research. From 1992, the committees in AKU are representative at county level. More specifically, this is an additional survey about care obligations for the Labour Force Survey 2010. The questions concern, among other things, supervisory arrangements, reduced work due to sick children, care for adults who need it and how such factors affect working conditions.

The weight "tuvekt" should be divided by 4,000 in this additional survey to the Labor Force Survey.
