Footnotes
People are classified into various groups by what characterizes the main income earner of the household to which they belong. This does not apply to 'People aged 18 years and older', 'People aged 18-24 years' and 'People aged 25-66 years': here all persons in these age groups are included.
Figures for 2020 were corrected on September 2, 2022. Salary compensation for those who are temporarily laid off (¿lønnskompensasjon¿) was included twice in the calculation of total income, and thus figures for total income were about 7 billion NOK too high.
