Immigration

1.  1.     The first immigrants that came to Norway, was from countries nearby, and Western Europe. After a while, people also came from Asia, Africa and Latin America.  People from 200 countries live in Norway today. Even Pakistan’s and Turks came to get jobs, and many of them still lives here.

2.    2.   The Norwegian and British immigration similarities are that Norway and Britain experienced a lot of immigration after the Second World War. This is because of the demand for workers in those jobs that didn’t get a big amount of salary. Since the 1950s, people from former colonies have immigrated to Britain, this has made them one of the most multicultural countries in Europe. Most of the immigrants in Britain have immigrated to UK. Immigrants in Norway mostly live close to the capital. About 12% of Britain’s population are immigrants, whiles in Norway 16% of the population are immigrants. Still, Britain is more multicultural, because this percentage doesn’t show all the people that have immigrated for a very long time ago.
