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.

Other publications

This report has been prepared with funding from the Nordic Council of Ministers by experts at HEUNI, Fafo and Lund university.

The report is a response to a call by the Nordic Work Environment Committee in early 2024 seeking research on the relationship between labour market crime and work environment risks, with the aim of generating more knowledge and practical recommendations and solutions.

The intention of the research is to produce practical knowledge for work environment experts and regulatory authorities to combat labour market crime and contribute to preventing accidents and work-related ill health resulting from labour market crime.
