The share of people living in material and social deprivation in Norway was much higher among the foreign-born population than among the population born in Norway. Whereas around three percent of the Norwegian-born population lived in material and social deprivation between 2014 and 2022, this increased from 7.6 to 12.2 percent of the foreigners from 2014 to 2019. It dropped by around three percentage points by 2022. The material and social deprivation rate shows the share of the population that lacks an income level to cover basic material needs and to participate in an active social life.

The domain "Income and living conditions" covers four topics: people at risk of poverty or social exclusion, income distribution and monetary poverty, living conditions and material deprivation, which are again structured into collections of indicators on specific topics.
The collection "People at risk of poverty or social exclusion" hosts main indicator on risk of poverty or social inclusion, AROPE, which is the main indicator to monitor the EU 2030 target on poverty and social exclusion and was the headline indicator to monitor the EU 2020 Strategy poverty target. The collection also includes the three components of AROPE, namely the at-risk-of-poverty (AROP) indicator, persons living in households with very low work intensity (LWI) indicator, and the severe material and social deprivation rate (SMSD).
The collection "Income distribution and monetary poverty" hosts collections of indicators relating to poverty risk, poverty risk of working individuals as well as the distribution of income.
The collection "Living conditions" hosts indicators relating to characteristics and living conditions of households, characteristics of the population according to different breakdowns, health and labour conditions, housing conditions as well as childcare related indicators.
The collection "Material deprivation" covers indicators relating to economic strain, durables, housing deprivation and environment of the dwelling.
