The Nordic region is growing

Since 1990 the Nordic countries’ populations have grown by 15 percent to a total of 26.5 million people, mainly though immigration. 

The largest group of people born abroad live in Sweden, 17.1 percent, while Norway has 13.8 percent and Finland has 5.4 percent. Most of them have moved to big city regions, while many towns and sparsely populated areas struggle with a shrinking and ageing population. Another factor is the many young people who leave the countryside for the larger cities.
