Seven percent of people in Norway were born abroad
Aftenposten:
The European Social Survey (ESS) revealed that 7.3 percent of the Norwegian population was born abroad, a bit below the European average of 7.9 percent, science research web site forskning.no reports.
Sweden is the Nordic nation with the largest foreign-born population segment, with 9.5 percent, while Finland has only 1.9 percent. Denmark has just 4.8 percent of its population in this category.
The European nation with the fewest foreign-born residents is Poland (1.1 percent), with Luxembourg the clear winner at the other end of the scale, with fully 32.5 percent of its population born outside its borders.
The ESS is based on 30,000 interviewees in 17 European nations.
Immigrants lead population growth

I'm a bit surprised, not to mention perturbed, maybe even slightly glum, to see such a high percentage of foreign-born in Norway. Which is rather, shall I say, northerly, with a climate that the arrivees -- and we know who most of them are -- you'd expect wouldn't appeal to most of them. But then probably many of them are refugees and asylum seekers, being supported by Norway's oil money.

Exactly, the immigrants have no problem with the cold weather as long as they are getting paid to do nothing except have more children at the expense of the Norwegian taxpayers.
