The population growth is first of all caused by a surplus in births and immigration. The last estimates I have read say that the population will have passed 768.000 in 2030.
As of 1 October 2010 the population of Norway was 4.908.100.
18 January 2011
Population of Oslo reached 600.000
Last Sunday, 16 January 2011, Oslo inhabitant no. 600.000 was born at Oslo University Hospital (dep. Rikshospitalet/The National Hospital). The mayor of Oslo, Fabian Stang, marked the happy occasion by visiting the newborn baby girl, Stella, and her parents at the hospital. The baby was given a gold jewel with Saint Hallvard - the patron saint of Oslo - engraved, while her parents, Miriam Nordgård and Lars Olav Vartdal, received flowers.

This is interesting because we so often read that many European countries are suffering population decline. Apparently Norway is not one of them. (Must be those cold northern winter nights. ;) ).
ReplyDeleteI wonder, though, whether the other day's expulsion of the high profile illegal Russian immigrant marks a new crackdown on immigration in general?
