Evidence from many OECD countries shows that immigrants, in particular recent arrivals, tend to
be especially affected by an economic downturn. The available tentative evidence on unemployment
suggests that this is also the case in Norway in the current downturn, particularly with respect to the many
recent labour migrants from the new EU member countries. Since this can have a lasting effect on their
labour market outcomes, it is important that the integration of immigrants remains a priority for policy.
