The number of full-time positi<strong>on</strong>s <strong>in</strong> child welfare per 1000 <strong>in</strong>habitants is similar for the four<br />

municipalities. Frøya has substantially more employees per <strong>in</strong>habitant <strong>in</strong> youth clubs than the<br />

other municipalities. This is probably because the municipality covers a large area. This<br />

means that they must have more youth clubs than they would if the municipality was smaller.<br />
