In order to stimulate a Nordic discussion on welfare resilience, the Nordic Council of Ministers has initiated this project, which is carried out by NIKK. The project has a cross-cutting approach: the knowledge produced is relevant to several sectors within Nordic co-operation and therefore contributes to strengthened collaboration between both policy areas and actors active within them, as well as between researchers and other experts.
NIKK has been tasked with conducting a review of how the Nordic countries work with honour-related violence and oppression. The study will provide an overview of the work in the Nordic region by highlighting what problems/challenges are identified and how the work to meet them is organised by describing the main actors, tasks and initiatives.
In a new assignment from the Nordic Council of Ministers, NIKK is commissioned to raise the Nordic level of knowledge about trans people’s working life conditions. This by combining results from national Nordic studies as well as arranging talks with national actors with the aim of identifying needs and proposing measures to improve the working conditions of transgender people in the Nordic countries.
The project’s purpose is to contribute to reducing the wage differences that still exist between women and men in the Nordic countries, by creating dialogue between the countries and the labor market partners about how to move forward and achieve success, based on current measures, experience and knowledge.
In order to more effectively tackle poverty, it is necessary to consider all stages of life, from childhood, through youth and adulthood and into retirement and old age. On behalf of the Nordic Council of Ministers, NIKK has therefore produced the knowledge base Economic vulnerability in different stages of life.
NIKK has been commissioned to collect knowledge about how older LGBTI-persons are met by the public health and care services in the Nordic countries.
