    Migrants Fueling Population Growth in Norway

    Despite recording its lowest birth rate since 1985, Norway's population is growing due to immigration, primarily from Syria.

    Figures released by Statistics Norway for the first quarter of 2018 reveal that the Nordic nation has experienced its lowest birth rate in 33 years.

    Meanwhile, the overall population expanded due to net immigration dominated by arrivals from 'Syria,' which could be misleading given that many 'Syrian refugees' are often not actually from the war-torn country.

    "Moving among the tens of thousands of Syrian war refugees passing through the train stations of Europe are many who are neither Syrian nor refugees, but hoping to blend into the mass migration and find a back door to the West," reported the Washington Post in 2015. "There are well-dressed Iranians speaking Farsi who insist they are members of the persecuted Yazidis of Iraq. There are Indians who don't speak Arabic but say they are from Damascus. There are Pakistanis, Albanians, Egyptians, Kosovars, Somalis and Tunisians from countries with plenty of poverty and violence, but no war."

    There was a peak in 2015 in the number of refugees admitted to Norway per year, at about 30,000. Last year it was about 3,000. Our neighboring country Sweden has vastly higher numbers.

    What's up with the low birth rate? Too much brawling and drinking?

    It's the same as the average for Western Europe, at 1.7. Which is 0.1 lower than the US.
