Integration and migration
The Nordic statistics database on integration and migration includes data on educational attainment levels, employment rates and population structure for foreign-born individuals and their descendants.
The integration and migration statistics presented in this section is the result of a co-operation project involving Nordic Statistical Institutes. Results were presented in November 2018 and the data imported into the Nordic Statistics Database. More information about the project and the results can be found here.
At the moment no update of the data is planned.
