In spite of strong traditions favoring self-assuring voluntary organizations,
in the Norwegian social democracy there is a development toward less
independence in this sector. Increasing reliance on indirect taxation to
finance the welfare state has put greater financial strain on formerly so-
called tax-exempt organizations. In addition, large portions of the relatively
detailed welfare state legislation do not take into account the special condi
tions of voluntary organizations, which therefore often become dependent
on the leniency of enforcing agencies and tend increasingly to become
more like quasi-governmental agencies.
