Back in , it was a pretty big deal, at least in the country, when Norway broke the 5 million mark on inhabitants. It raised the inevitable questions on whether immigration was ‘out of control’ and the impact on healthcare and pensions.

Fast-forward now to the present day, and Norway has smashed through the million barrier for the first time. As of Q3 , the population of Norway is 5,,.

In , the annual increase of 61, reported by state statistics office SSB represented a slight decline in growth from the population growth reported the previous year.

Now, let’s look in detail at what’s going on. From the history of population growth and poulation decline in Norway, to the population of immigrants and where people actually live, this article is your thorough introduction to the Norwegian population.
