Abstract
Immigration flows are of growing interest due to the recent unprecedented numbers of immigrants arriving in the Nordic Region. Successful integration of these newcomers is vital to ensuring long-term social sustainability, particularly for rural municipalities struggling with population decline. As this chapter will demonstrate, immigration to the Nordic Region has increased drastically in recent decades, with major inflows from neighbouring Nordic and European countries, as well as from further afield. This international immigration is having a profound effect on the population structure at municipal level across the Nordic Region both due to its sheer scale and because of the diverse nature of the migrant population. The reasons underpinning immigration vary greatly both between the Nordic countries and between migration groups.
