But is it true?

This said Traaseth
Summary of Hansen was one based on these statements from Traaseth:
– We have for years built up trepartsmodellen, especially in Norway, to regulate the relationship between employee and employer.
– And then we look at trends in new generations, that says two things: One, they are not very keen to own anymore. And what generations before us put the money for oil and gas? Property. It’s almost expected that you should buy your own Liel. You should own. [...] The same values have not a generation. They are not so keen to possess. They are keen to have access. And they want to share.
– And very many of them are not concerned with permanent jobs to the extent that we think permanent jobs. They want freelance section and freedom.
And the reactions did not wait for them:

– Funnily
Working Researcher Cathrine Egeland at the University of Oslo Akershus says to DN that there are so many people working freelance in Norway at all .
Temporary proportion in Norway in recent years has hovered around eight percent, according to the OECD.
It includes all with temporary contracts, and in Norway this applies to many employees in the higher education sector , according to Egeland.
– Stating that the young are not interested in regular employment, one must ask what this builds on, said Egeland, adding:
– Employees in Norway are both interested in a salary they can live on and a meaningful working life, where one realizes himself and uses his expertise. We know that. But that one can infer from this that there is a particular interest for temporary positions, not permanent job, it seems strange, says Egeland.

Do not research-based
She believes people want flexibility and freedom, but within safe limits.
You will therefore be yes for an answer when you ask someone about they want flexible working hours, but also yes when you ask them if they want a predictable income, according to Egeland.
– We’ll mostly have it both ways, says Egeland.
– It seems like you stop that people want variety in your workday and flexible working hours that people – especially young people – are not interested in a sound financial basis and a permanent job. But this is not a research-based inference, says Egeland.

How to own property?
The CEO of Selvaag Bolig, Baard Schumann, who lives by selling homes, experiencing the contrary that young people want to buy housing earlier and earlier.
In order to explain this, he refers to a Opinion survey made for Selvaag Bolig in 2014.
So it is worth mentioning that respondents in the survey were just young people between 20 and 35 years, already have plans to buy a home alone or with others.
– They did not want to share more, they did not want to stay in public and they wanted to stay in buildings and projects in which all age groups are represented. When it comes to housing, the desire was to preserve their private sphere, because they was along with everyone else at work or free time anyway, says Schumann.
SSB living conditions survey from 2015 shows that the percentage of young people between 16 and 24 years living in owned housing, fell by two percentage points from 63 percent to 61 percent . Meanwhile, the proportion of people between 25 and 44 years living in owned housing from 78 to 81 percent.
Young owner as much as before
Schumann gets support from NOVA researcher Lars Petter Gulbrandsen at the University of Oslo and Akershus.
He is doing a study on the housing market in Norway. It is yet unpublished, but Gulbrandsen says that there is no lower share for people under 30 than there have been in similar studies in the past decade.
– There is nothing to suggest that young people less purchasing an apartment. On young people in Norway had these opinions, they would have had no place to stay, all the time there is nothing particular to rental market, says Gulbrandsen.
– Can not see the current figures
– I stand in for the summary – even if it is set at the tip. Ridicules it gladly, but we must accept that these trends will also affect Norway and Norwegian working conditions, says Traaseth.
And continues:
– It is true that around nine out of ten have permanent employment today and that about 83 percent own their own homes. I talked about the future. You can not just look to the present and past numbers to be able to say something about how these trends will affect us also in Norway in the future. How many are freelancers and do not own, we do not know. But it will be more of them.
Traaseth shows that genes tion called Millennials “are driven by keywords which freedom and flexibility.”
Millennials is a term for the current generation of young people. Different sources define group differently from born between 1980-2000 or 1982 to 2004.
– My main message is to get this discussion on the national agenda. We need to measure these effects and follow along. I’m not saying that this generation is not concerned with security and pensions, but that they are going to manage it in a slightly different way. They go from giving priority to job security in just one place, to prioritize career security. Then we have a need to align ourselves for the labor market they face, says Traaseth.
– Norwegian millenials’ve already been part of the workforce for several years. Should not we have seen changes in statistics?
– I think we are going to see changes, but it will take a little longer. Especially in a country like Norway. But if you look for example at the statistics on all work communities that have appeared in Norway in recent years, so you see what’s coming.
