DISTRIBUTION ACCORDING TO STATION IN LIFE,
AND OCCUPATION.
In recent censuses in various countries, special importance
has been attached to the obtaining of minute and accurate
information as to the position and occupation of the persons
enumerated, matters which, with the ever-increasing interest in
the material conditions of the people and the advancement of
business, are of very great importance. The information on these
matters, obtained by the censuses, affords, as a rule, the best and
most reliable that can be obtained concerning the importance
of the various livelihoods for the economy of the entire nation.
Comparison, also, of one census with another, yields excellent
material for throwing light upon the development, stagnation or
retrogression of the several means of livelihood in the course
of time.
In Norway too, very detailed information has been obtained
concerning these matters, by the censuses. A brief résumé will be
given here of their principal results.
The first question that presents itself is: How large a portion
of the population of the country can be described as working?
As an answer to this, the following tabular survey of the
composition of the domiciled population during the years 1876 and
1891 is subjoined, calculated per cent:
| | Males | Females | Total |
| | 1876 | 1891 | 1876 | 1891 | 1876 | 1891 |
| Persons with occupation .... | 60.50 | 57.90 | 61.60 | 60.40 | 61.10 | 59.20 |
| Persons with independent means | 2.60 | 2.80 | 2.80 | 3.00 | 2.70 | 2.90 |
| School-children and students . . | 15.50 | 17.40 | 14.20 | 15.30 | 14.80 | 16.30 |
| Other children.......... | 19.50 | 20.20 | 18.10 | 18.10 | 18.80 | 19.10 |
Persons entirely or mainly
supported by the parish .... | 0.80 | 0.90 | 1.40 | 1.40 | 1.10 | 1.20 |
| Other unproductive persons . . | 1.10 | 0.80 | 1.90 | 1.80 | 1.50 | 1.80 |
| | 100.00 | 100.00 | 100.00 | 100.00 | 100.00 | 100.00 |
