Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration (NAV) figures showing a 24 percent rise in under-30s on permanent disability allowance in the last four years. Almost 36,000 are currently on welfare.
Self-employed Mr Sharif, who states he has not been ill for one working day since starting 17 years ago, tells Dagens Næringsliv, “It’s hair-raising. This just confirms the welfare state in Norway is too good.”
“Norwegian youths are lazy,” he says, underlining his criticism is not directed against everyone, “their work ethic is different to our neighbouring countries’.”
