| Geographical coverage | National |
| Sampling unit (target population) | All individuals aged 18–67 years, including individuals who are not employed, and individuals moving in and out of employment |
| Sampling strategy | In 2006, the Level of Living Survey was designed as a split panel survey (or a rotating panel survey) for the first time; from 1989 to 2003, the study had a cross-sectional design. The present structure consists of three panels, each one constituting a representative sample of the Norwegian working population. Over time, the plan is for each panel to be included in the survey three times (for example, 2006, 2009 and 2012), and to replace one panel with a new one every three years. Replacing only one panel at a time ensures continuity in the data, while simultaneously underpinning the representativeness of the entire sample. In the future, new panels will consist mainly of young workers and immigrants, in order to ensure that the total sample (all three panels combined) continues to be representative for the Norwegian working population. This design provides both cross-sectional and longitudinal data for further analysis |
| Response rate | 67.2% |
| Sample | The sample consists of 12,550 individuals, 9,961 of whom were employed. The results illustrated in this report refer to employees only |
| Data collection | The data collection took place from 18 September 2006 to 24 February 2007. Data were collected using telephone interviews, with the exception of 0.5% of the interviews which were conducted face-to-face (when the respondents did not have access to a telephone). The interviews took an average of 24 minutes |
