In the second wave (2007-08), NorLAG was merged with the United Nations-initiated Generations and Gender Survey (GGS)
Whereas the first wave of NorLAG includes persons 40 years and older, LOGG includes persons 18 to 39 years. Both the NorLAG and LOGG datasets are part of ACCESS Life Course, a Research Infrastructure Project that is financed by the National Financing Initiative for Research Infrastructure at the Research Council of Norway [1]
Summary
At the turn of this century, Norway was one of few Western countries without a large-scale longitudinal study on ageing and the life-course. The objectives of the NorLAG study are three-fold: (i) to explore the conditions and contents of active ageing and quality of life in older years, (ii) to examine how different social contexts respond to long lives and ageing populations, (iii) to provide knowledge needed for the development of sustainable policies and practices in the field. In the second wave of data collection (2007-08), NorLAG was merged with the United Nations-initiated Generations and Gender Survey (GGS) [4]. The postal unconditional response rate is 35.2% (N= 2,672), indicating the percentage of the eligible gross sample that has responded to both the telephone interview and the postal questionnaire in both waves. Conditional longitudinal response rate Sample (persons who responded to post wave 1) Ineligible (death or emigration by 31.12.2006) Eligible Net sample.
