'Everyone living in Norway takes out more from the welfare state than we pay into over the course of a lifetime.

An average man costs the state and municipalities 3.1 million kroner over the course of his life, while women cost an average of 15.6 million kroner.

This was revealed in the outlook report that the government presented before the weekend. This creates challenges for the economy in the long term.'
