Don't use Norway as an example of a prosperous society. It's an extremely oil-rich country, and while it's doing much better than most other oil-rich countries are, it's not like a non-oil-rich country could emulate its policies.
Denmark, Sweeden and Switzerland are much more appropriate examples. However, both Sweeden and Switzerland enjoy plenty of cheap foreign labour (I don't know for Denmark).
