Abstract
The National Insurance Scheme is the main element of the Norwegian
’’welfare state”. The Scheme secures people’s finance when they are
sick, disabled, unemployed or old, or when they have no one to support
them and are unable to support themselves. The National Insurance
Scheme is the most fundamental cornerstone of the structure represented
by the ’’welfare state”.
The Scheme consists of long-term benefits; pensions and transitional
allowances; short-term benefits; daily allowances for the sick, and daily
cash benefits for the unemployed and benefits in kind; and expenditure
for health care and rehabilitation.
