Objectives:
The Norwegian Ministry of Labour has charged the Research Council of Norway with the task of evaluating the Norwegian pension reform. The evaluation is led by a steering group that is authorised to allocate grants. The Research Council is responsible for providing the secretariat for the evaluation.
The Norwegian pension system will face major challenges in the coming years. The Storting voted to introduce the new old-age pension under the National Insurance Scheme, which serves as the foundation of the pension system, in the Act of 5 June 2009 No. 32 relating to amendments to the National Insurance Scheme (the new old-age pension scheme).
The pension reform is to be assessed to determine the degree to which it achieves its key objectives, which are to:
- Create an economically and socially sustainable pension system;
- Establish a framework for a flexible, individually adapted transition from work to retirement;
- Motivate people to continue working;
- Ensure satisfactory income distribution and gender equality;
- Create a system based on easily understood main principles and adequate information.
The evaluation is intended to develop research-based expertise in this field.
This programme/activity normally accepts grant applications from:
Universities, university colleges, independent research institutes and other publicly funded research institutions.
Duration:
2010 - 2018
Overall budget:
NOK 56 million.
