Internal Migration Mobility in the EU: “Scandinavian Transit”

Abstract

In the article the authors analyse migration from the EU countries to the Nordic countries, namely: Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Iceland. Immigration to Scandinavian countries has become massive in recent decades. It is estimated that up to a third of the residents of Sweden and Norway are immigrants. However, what makes the experience of these states unique is that they have large communities of people from other European countries. In order to better understand the phenomenon of migration from the European Union to the Scandinavian countries, we will consider both immigration to Sweden and Denmark, as well as immigration to Norway and Iceland, taking into account whether these countries members of the European Union or not.
