Emissions of greenhouse gases – after the pandemic decrease
Significant declines in the emissions of greenhouse gases were seen during 2020, the first year of the pandemic. In the Nordic region, total emissions were down by over 10%. In the two subsequent years, emissions increased again, but not back to pre-pandemic levels and in Finland emissions have even decreased further.

Integration, migration and education
Novel data on integration and migration in the Nordic Statistics database is the base for this third article on the topic, this time with focus on educational attainment and enrolment. Here we learn that there are no large, systematic differences between the educational levels of immigrants, their descendants and the rest of the population in the Nordic countries and that descendants of immigrants participate in education more frequently than immigrants.

Integration and migration – A labour market perspective
Novel data on integration and migration in the Nordic Statistics database calls for yet another article on this topic, this time with focus on the labour market perspective. In this article we learn that participation in the Nordic labour market differs between population groups, and that the employment rate is lower among foreign-born than in the rest of the population. The employment rate generally increases with time spent in the country, although this is not true for all the Nordic countries.

The Nordic Statistics database

Nordic Statistics is a collection of comparative Nordic statistics which has existed and been funded by the Nordic Council of Ministers since the mid-1960s. The Nordic Statistics database contains about two hundred matrices. 

The data is gathered from the Nordic Statistical Institutes (NSIs), the Nomesco-Nososco committees, other Nordic statistics producers as well as international sources such as Eurostat, OECD and the UN. For more details read here.
