Contexto cultural
The 'tiltakskultur' in Norway is strong. People expect the state to have a 'tiltak' for everything from high electricity prices to loneliness among the elderly. In Norwegian workplaces, 'tiltak' are often decided through consensus (medbestemmelse). Employees expect to be consulted before a 'tiltak' is set in motion. On Norwegian Twitter/X, 'tiltak' is often used ironically by young people to describe the 'effort' of basic adulting. Post-WWII reconstruction of Norway was essentially a series of massive state-led 'tiltak' to rebuild the infrastructure.
