A Norwegian nationwide web-based survey, investigating employees’ experiences on combining work and care for older parents, was completed in March – April 2022. Altogether 6049 people in the age group 35-67 years, having one or both parents alive, responded to the questionnaire.

The operation of the Gallup Panel and data processing is reported to the Norwegian Data Protection Authority.
