Ministry of Labour and Social InclusionGovernment

The Ministry of Labour and Social Inclusion is a Norwegian government ministry responsible for labour market policy, the working environment, pensions, and social welfare integration. It oversees key public bodies, most notably the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration (NAV). Tracing its origins back to the establishment of the Ministry of the Interior in 1846, the institution underwent several reorganizations throughout the 20th century before adopting its modern labour and social inclusion mandate in 2006.
