26 August 2024 at 11:31 Doubling of disabled young people The proportion of young people who receive disability benefits has more than doubled since 2010. More young people receive health-related benefits, a new survey from the National Audit Office shows. It is critical that the work-oriented assistance from the governing authorities does not work well enough to get more people between the ages of 18 and 30 into work or education. – The proportion of young people under 30 who receive disability benefits has more than doubled since 2010. This is a worrying development. In the future, we will have more elderly people, and the need for labor will increase. We cannot afford so many young people to drop out of working life, says Auditor General Karl Eirik Schjøtt-Pedersen. – Norway needs their workforce. The young people need to be connected to working life, he underlines.
