Norway has zero transparency when it comes to children rights. Some governments (Slovak, Czech, Romania) recommend not to travel there with children. EDIT: Some explanations. - In Norway social services (Barnevernet) can take children from family without any explanation. - Parents are under gag order, and can not talk about their case. Talking to press means you loose parental rights. - There is no appeal, proof, or…

What do you mean? What can happen?

If I had access to such information, I would immediately try to figure out how much my colleagues and peers in other groups/companies are making. Knowing how much other people are making for similar job functions, gives you huge negotiating power in managing your career. It's a net win for all workers in society.

Have you considered the alternative approach of talking to people? A lot less creepy than cyber stalking their tax reports.

not reliable. a lot of my friends were saying they were earning much more than were really making. made me depressed for quit a while.

then I got a wonderful job as a data admin for an intelligence institution and for a few days when certain maintenance was due I had unlimited access to everyone's earning in my country. THE LIES!

I always have issues negotiating my wage so knowing what other people are earning would imprive my bargaining power.

Is this comment based on the single, recent case that has been severely misrepresented in religious circles?

Problem is, that they don't discuss the cases with anyone (because of children protection). They may all be valid abuse cases, but they will just not present any data about them.

In most famous case in Czech, I believe it was real abuse. Despite that common Czech perception is that is was basically misunderstanding. In other cases I'm not so sure, but I miss lots of data.

It's also not about basic travel, but living there.

But it all comes to the rules. You live there, you must adapt. Czech are crazy when immigrants don't adapt/integrate, but they don't want to do the same abroad.

There are a few thousands such cases, mostly in east-european countries. It is recommended not to bring your family to Norway, if you find job there.

Norway is no different from all rich oil-producing countries. Just selling oil is not that hard, but what will happen when Norway run out of oil?

They will live off their fund.
