Who Emigrates From a Wealthy, Peaceful Country? And Who Comes Back? Evidence From Norway
Each year, millions of people emigrate from wealthy, peaceful countries. In this paper, we summarise research and available international data on the numbers and characteristics of those who move from wealthy countries in general. Next, we utilise rich Norwegian individual‐level register data and various quantitative methods to provide a broad description of emigrants from Norway over recent decades, as well as migration back to Norway, with a fo…
How Emigration Contributes to Less Urbanized Immigrant Populations
The regional distribution of immigrant populations in Western countries has changed over the last decades. Such changes are usually explained by changes in immigrants’ initial settlements and/or their subsequent internal migration patterns. This Research Note draws attention to a third factor: emigration. When immigrants in urban areas are more prone to emigrate than their rural peers, this contributes to a less urbanized immigrant population. Us…
Goodbye Norway: Top-Earners Selection Into Return and Onward Migration
We use high-quality panel data on the entire population of Norway to study first-generation immigrants who arrived for labor and out-migrate during our observation period (2000‒2020). We utilize rarely available official information about status-at-arrival and destination-upon-exit to disaggregate immigrants into returnees, onward migrants, and stayers, which enables us to investigate underlying selection mechanisms and offer a better understandi…
Party penalty or party premium? 'Party Swedes' in Norway and their income before, during, and after migration
Young adults moving between wealthy countries for work and adventure are an under-studied group of international migrants. We use a unique combination of full population register data from Sweden and Norway to explore the so-called 'Party Swedes': young Swedes who emigrated to Norway in 2010-12. We follow them and track their median incomes before they left Sweden, during their stay in Norway, and after their return to Sweden. Moreover, we model …
Visualising Immigrant Fertility -- Profiles of Childbearing and their Implications for Migration Research
Different measures of fertility have strengths and limitations when used to describe the fertility of immigrants, and no single measure captures every aspect of this complex phenomenon. This paper introduces a novel visual framework that shows life course profiles of immigrant childbearing in a multifaceted way. It develops the well-known cohort fertility curve—showing the average number of children ever born over the life course—and adds lines f…
Does One Municipality Fit All?The Employment of Refugees in Norway Across Municipalities of Different Centrality and Size
Municipality Characteristics and the Fertility of Refugees in Norway
Using future age profiles to improve immigration projections
Young adults migrate more than older people. As populations in many countries get older, this may affect out-migration-and thus immigration to other countries. This is not usually accounted for in projections of future immigration, even though considerable ageing is expected globally. We show how United Nations projections of future age profiles in origin regions can be combined with those regions' emigration rates by age group to improve nationa…
Declined Total Fertility Rate Among Immigrants and the Role of Newly Arrived Women in Norway
In many Western countries, the total fertility rate (TFR) of immigrant women has declined over the last decades. This paper proposes two methods for investigating such changes in the aggregate immigrant fertility level: what-if scenarios and a formal decomposition. Both methods disentangle the effect of changed composition—by origin area and duration of stay—from the effect of changed fertility within subgroups. The methods are applied to data fr…
Fertility patterns of migrants from low-fertility countries in Norway
Most research on migrant fertility focuses on immigrants from high-fertility countries who have moved to countries with lower fertility. Little is known about the fertility of immigrant women from countries where fertility is lower than in the destination
Childhood residential mobility and long-term outcomes
To study relations between childhood residential mobility and early adult outcomes, we use detailed longitudinal data on complete cohorts born in Norway between 1965 and 1980 ( N = 967 151) and information on all their relocations between municipalities. Results from models with and without sibling-fixed effects show that children with more residential moves are more likely to drop out of high school, to have a lower adult income and to experienc…
Forecasting Immigration in Official Population Projections Using an Econometric Model
Although substantial research has been conducted to quantify the determinants of international migration, most official population projections do not include such determinants in a formal migration model. Statistics Norway forecasts gross immigration to Norway using an econometric model based on standard migration theories. The main variables include income level, unemployment, and population size in Norway and the sending countries, and the numb…
