Youth survey 1985

Statistics Norway has five times completed youth surveys commissioned by the Directorate of Labour and the Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development. The surveys were conducted in 1975, 1980, 1981, 1985 and 1990. The surveys will provide information on the main aspects related to youth education and labor market experiences of the labor market and the education system and in particular the transition from one to the other. The last issue will be more pronounced during the 1980's. There is special emphasis on identifying the situation of the young people who either went to school or were working. While in the first two surveys in 1975 and 1980, just as the youth up to age 19, this was in 1985 extended to 24 years. The last youth survey of this type was conducted in 1990.
