WORK32: Employment rate (percent) among foreign-born with two foreign-born parents, born outside the Nordic/EU27/EFTA/UK area, by reporting country, reason for residence permit, length of stay, time and sex

Registered residents. Foreign-born with two foreign-born parents born outside the Nordic/EU28/EES area aged 20-64. Foreign-born with native-born parents are excluded. On Residents: Please note that refugees/asylum seekers are not automatically registered as residents in the Nordic countries, and are therefore not fully included in the statistics of this matrix. This means that for example immigrants from Ukraine are underestimated in the present matrix, since they have not been in a Nordic country long enough or otherwise do not meet the rules for population registration. See the respective country's regulations for further information. Employed: Employed in percent is the proportion of employed in the whole population aged 20-64. See valuenotes for individual reporting countries. Definitions of Reason for Recidence Permit:
Refugee: Granted asylum or residence permit on humanitarian grounds, as a resettlement refugee, or as a person who belongs to a group with collective protection.
Family - refugees: Granted residence permit as close family member reuniting, accompaning or forming a family with a refugee in the host country.
Family - other: Granted residence permit as close family member reuniting, accompaning or forming a family with a person who is not a refugee in the host country.
Labour: Primary reason for residence permit is labour.
Education: Primary reason for residence permit is education.
Other: Granted residence for all other reasons. Definition of length of stay: Time since first date of registred residency. In some cases, subsets do not add up to specified totals. This is because summation in these cases took place after small values were suppressed for confidentiality reasons. The differences are, however, small in relation to the values. This matrix is the result of an integration and migration co-operation project involving the Nordic Statistical Institutes.

Residents born in overseas territories figure with the sovereign state as country background (e.g. Gibraltar and Falkland Islands are contained in United Kingdom, French Polynesia and New Caledonia are contained in France, Aruba and Curaçao are contrained in The Netherlands etc.).
Dissolved contries might occur, e.g. Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, since some persons are still registered with these countries as their country of birth, if they immigrated when these countries still existed.
Palestine has only been used as a possible place of birth since 1st January 2022. Only persons who immigrated later than this date, or who have requested a change, are registered with Palestine as their place of birth.
