The Norwegian Ministry of Labour and Inclusion revealed last year that around 33,000 Ukrainian refugees were provided with housing and assistance in different towns throughout Norway. This figure marks a noteworthy peak in the number of refugees resettled in a single year.
In the face of a persistent humanitarian crisis, Norwegian authorities have shown unwavering commitment. They have welcomed and incorporated 65,000 new inhabitants in the last two years. Municipalities are being urged by the government to keep up this endeavor, with an extra 37,000 refugees to be welcomed and settled by 2024.
Tonje Brenna, the Minister of Employment and Inclusion, stressed Norway’s steadfast dedication to supporting the Ukrainian people. As Minister Brenna considered the painful reality of Russia’s near two-year-long attack against Ukraine, she emphasized the nation’s commitment to aiding the victims of this terrible war.
In response to the increasing number of immigrants throughout the fall, the authorities took preemptive steps to control the flow. In order to guarantee a successful and long-lasting reaction, authorities continue to be actively involved, constantly assessing and taking changes into consideration.
The government suggested changing the introduction program to make it more job-oriented in order to hasten the integration of Ukrainian immigrants into the Norwegian workforce. This move was made in the hopes of hastening the employment process for these refugees.
Furthermore, a substantial NOK 30 million state budgetary allotment has been set aside for the establishment of a national digital education offer in Norway in 2024, demonstrating the dedication to enabling and providing refugees with fundamental language proficiency.
A significant percentage of the 29,000 Ukrainian immigrants to Norway in 2023 were covered by temporary collective protection. About 65,000 refugees have been successfully absorbed into the nation over the last two years.
The distribution of settlements geographically shows that, for the second year running, the counties of Viken and Vestland lead in terms of total number of settlements, while Nordland and Møre og Romsdal topped the list in terms of settlements compared to population.
Oslo came in last in terms of both proportions and total settlements, even though it was the main urban hub. While praising smaller municipalities like Utsira, Namsskogan, Røyrvik, and Modalen for their exceptional efforts in accommodating residents relative to their population size, the Minister of Employment and Inclusion acknowledged the crucial role that large cities play in accommodating substantial numbers of refugees.
