Sjøfolk og velferdsstaten

Abstract: In many respects seafarers were regarded as being different from other groups in the society. When the welfare schemes were introduced, the arguments were seafarers’ hard workdays, their separation from home, their sufferings and losses during wartime and the fact that they normally did not have the opportunity to enjoy the same tax-financed benefits as the rest of the population. The seafarers themselves often felt separated from the Norwegian community and it is likely that they did not feel that the welfare programs established for them fully compensated for the challenges of being at sea.
