According to Statistics Norway the immigrant population make up 15.6 per cent of the population in Norway.〔("Immigrants and Norwegian-born to immigrant parents, 1 January 2015" ). Statistics Norway. Accessed 21 May 2015.〕 The number includes immigrants and children born in Norway to two immigrant parents. The five largest immigrant groups in Norway are in turn Polish, Swedish, Somali, Lithuanian and Pakistani.〔 At the beginning of 1992 the immigrant population in Norway was 183,000 persons, or 4.3 per cent of the total population. 23 years later, at the beginning of 2015, the number had risen to 815,000 persons, (or 15.6 per cent of the population.) The immigration has increased drastically in recent years, with net immigration exceeding 40,000.〔SSB (Statistics Norway): https://www.ssb.no/en/befolkning/statistikker/flytting〕 ==History== The Viking Age introduced the practice of Royal intermarriage common in European aristocracies and elsewhere. Norwegian kings used to seek their wives from other Royal houses, in order to foster ties with foreign countries.〔From Harald Finehair to Håkon Håkonsson eight out of ten known queens were princesses from neighbouring countries.

Other historical fields linked to migrations were trade and academia, bringing workforce and innovation respectively. The Hanseatic League introduced large scale trade in Bergen and Northern Norway. Mining in Kongsberg, Røros and other places was made possible by immigrants from nearby countries. During the 19th century the evolution of dairies and the industrial exploitation of waterfalls depended on immigrants. Before the University was established in Christiania in 1811, almost all civil servants from up to ''circa'' 1500, were migrants.〔Knut Kjeldstadli. ''Norsk innvandringshistorie'' . Pax, 2003.
