Our publications

At Fafo, we publish our own reports, notes and briefs. Most are in Norwegian, but we also have some English publications (see «In English»). 

All our more recent Fafo reports in Norwegians also have summaries translated to English (see «Summaries»).

Our researchers publish scientific articles and book chapters and books, as well as take part as authors of external reports and publications.

In addition, they are active communicators in the media, at seminars and in other forums. 

An overview of all this is collected on these publication pages.

Most recent Fafo publications

This article examines the transnational transfer and adaptation of the concept ‘work-related crime’ (WRC) in the Nordic context, focusing on its movement from Norway to Sweden.

Drawing on interviews and document analysis, and employing the policy mobilities literature as a theoretical lens, it discusses how the WRC concept was introduced in Sweden at a time of policy-related uncertainty.

The article shows that the newly assembled Swedish WRC policy is characterized by discursive flexibility, allowing it to encompass an array of issues and appeal to a political majority. This flexibility, it is argued, allows for mobility, enabling the issue of labour exploitation to become embedded in existing policy areas—in this case, in the intersections between migration, crime and labour policy.

Evalueringen viser at myndighetene i stor grad har lykkes med å bygge en varig og forutsigbar infrastruktur for kompetanseutvikling i både skolen og fag- og yrkesopplæringen.

Samtidig avdekker rapporten store lokale forskjeller i hvordan partnerskapene med UH-sektoren fungerer.

Videre kan begrenset kapasitet i små kommuner påvirke skoleeiers mulighet til å ta initiativ til og gjennomføre kompetanse- og kvalitetsutvikling.
