What makes Norway stand out?
Norway is the wealthiest country in the world per capita, counting its sovereign wealth fund, which holds over 1.7 trillion dollars. That is no accident and no oil windfall alone. It is the result of decades of political foresight, social investment and a society that decided everyone should thrive. Those who live in Norway feel that every single day.
Nature on a Grand Scale
Norway's fjords – Hardangerfjord, Sognefjord, Geirangerfjord – are unique on Earth. The Sognefjord is 205 km long and up to 1,300 m deep. In the north, the Northern Lights appear from October to March; in summer, the midnight sun lasts for weeks. Norway's nature is not beautiful, it is overwhelming.
Economy & Salaries
The average gross salary in Norway exceeds 65,000 EUR per year, significantly more in key sectors. At the same time, income inequality is among the lowest in the world. Five weeks of annualleave is the legal minimum.
Social System
Norway's welfare state is considered a blueprint for the world: universal healthcare, free higher education, generous parental leave (up to 49 weeks with full salary replacement), state-subsidised childcare. Those who live and work legally in Norway are part of a system designed to leave no one behind.
Society & Values
Norway consistently ranks in the top 1–3 of the World Happiness Report and Human Development Index. Corruption is virtually non-existent. Life in the open nature is the cultural foundation of the country.
