I have been trying to find if anyone has researched the effect of migration patterns on the complexity of social security. Specifically, if increased propensity for people to have contributions in multiple countries (say in the EU for example) and requiring multiple bilateral or multilateral agreements in order to qualify for age pension is increasing the administrative load on government pension authorities.
Would greatly appreciate any pointers, as I'm not finding much!
I am interested in the impact of public policies on gender income equality. Specifically the provision of flexible working hours, father's leave, parental leave etc. Do you think these policies significantly change/d outcomes in Norway, or is the relatively good level of equality in paid and unpaid hours of work a by-product of societal norms in Norway?
