sysselsetningens

Sysselsetningens is the possessive form of the Norwegian noun sysselsetning, which refers to the act or state of having paid work, i.e., employment. As a grammatical form, sysselsetningens is used to indicate something that belongs to or concerns employment, such as in phrases like sysselsetningens omfang (the scope of employment) or sysselsetningens utvikling (the development of employment).

In Norwegian, the concept of employment is central to labor market and economic discussion. The base noun sysselsetning can be used to refer to the state of being employed or to the workforce in general. In statistics and policy contexts, terms like sysselsetning, sysselsettingsgrad (employment rate), and the share of employed people are common. The possessive form sysselsetningens appears in analytic descriptions that discuss attributes or changes related to employment, for example "sysselsetningens utvikling i løpet av årene" (the development of employment over the years).

Notes on spelling and usage: while sysselsetningens is grammatically correct as the possessive of sysselsetning, modern Norwegian commonly uses related terms such as sysselsetting or sysselsettingsgrad. Writers should be aware of potential dialectal or historical variants, and choose the form that aligns with the preferred standard in the text. Overall, sysselsetningens functions as a grammatical tool to link possessive relationships to the concept of employment in Norwegian prose.
