Norway introduced the possibility of extensions in 1993, but adopted the first extensions only in 2004 in the face of rising labour immigration due to Eastern Enlargement of EU/EEA. We argue that corporatism was instrumental in facilitating the introduction of statutory extensions in Norway.

This is an important policy in many European countries to improve coverage of collective agreements. However, in Scandinavia it is less common. Sweden and Denmark don't use extensions at all, mostly because their union density is even higher than in Norway.
