Immigrants in Norway

Statistics and analysis of immigration, emigration and immigrants (for simplicity's sake referred to as Migrant statistics), have until now been spread over many different publications. The main purpose of this publication is to jointly present analyses and statistics from several subject areas.

The project Migration Statistics was established in 1991 when the Ministry of Local Government and Labour and Statistics Norway entered into an agreement to develop migration statistics. The Ministry of Local Government and Labour was responsible for most of the financing of the general development of statistics and various special projects. This book is based on different sub-projects of which the project Migration Statistics covered the general aspects of migration statistics, population statistics, labour market, opportunity structures and survey of living conditions.
