Immigration and immigrants 2002

Fülszöveg

Preface
The purpose of this publication is to present updated figures on immigrants and immi-
gration to Norway. Time series that illustrate the development within some aspects of living
conditions are presented, and updated with the most recent figures where possible. An
attempt will be made to update the publication every year, every second year as a paper
publication, and every second year as a web publication. The first publication was SA 33
(Bjertnaes 2000), updated on the Internet: http://vwvw.ssb.nO/emner/02/sa_innvand//sa33/.
The second paper edition was SA 50 (Lie 2002). This is the first time this publication has
been translated into English.
Data are mainly gathered from register statistics at Statistics Norway, but also from sample
surveys. This is explained in each chapter. Different divisions in Statistics Norway produce
the statistics. The statistics on refugees are partially based on data from the Norwegian
Directorate of Immigration (UDI).

Benedicte Lie, co-ordinator for immigrant-related statistics, has been responsible for the
publication. Lars 0stby has contributed with valuable comments and suggestions. Much of
the statistics have already been published, but not compiled in a publication like this. Bj0rn
Olsen has written the chapter on immigrants and the labour market, and Vebjorn
Aalandslid has written the chapter on electoral turnout. Some figures have been collected
from previously published statistics on immigration and immigrants, much of which are
available on the Internet. The rest of the publication has been written and/or edited by
Benedicte Lie. Minja Dzamarija has prepared most of the tables for the chapter on immi-
grant population. Liv Hansen has arranged the figures. Benedicte Lie has translated the text
from Norwegian to English with the assistance of Helga Braein.
Emphasis has been put on presenting key figures, and easily understandable tables.
The Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development has sponsored the publica-
tion.
