Taking the pulse on working life

YS leader Hans-Erik Skjæggerud shares important knowledge about working life in this year's YS-barometer. YS is one of Norway's four main employee organisations with 240,000 members.

The Working Life Barometer

is an annual survey about the Norwegian labour market, conducted by the Work Research Institute (AFI – OsloMet) on commission from the Norwegian Confederation of Vocational Unions YS.

Arbeidslivsbarometer

The survey has been conducted every year since 2009.

More than 3,000 workers have contributed to the survey.

The YS Working Life Barometer has six main themes, all of them central to understanding the development of the labour market from a worker’s perspective:

  • Trade union legitimacy
  • Support for collective bargaining 
  • Working conditions, stress and being on top of your job
  • Equal participation
  • Security and belonging in working life
  • Skills
