As a result, in contrast to many other immigrant-receiving countries, Finland’s early immigration was dominated - alongside family unification - by humanitarian migration. Since the mid-1990’s, migrants from Russia and Estonia have made up the largest foreign-born group in Finland and continue to do so; in 2016, they accounted for 20%, and 13%, of the foreign-born population, respectively. Since 1994, migrants from Somalia have represented a fairly stable 3% of the foreign-born population of Finland, while the number of migrants arriving from Iraq and Afghanistan has been increasing. As a result, in 2015, migrants from Iraq overtook those from Somalia as Finland’s third largest group, accounting for 4% of the foreign-born population.
