For example, between 1998 and 2008, net international migration in Greenland almost completely offset the high natural increase in population, total population was almost constant. This outflow has two consequences. First, an offsetting influx of people would be required to prevent population decline, and second, there are potential longer-term implications for future birth rates if, as is currently the case in the NORA region, the outflow includes a disproportionately large number of young women and the inflow a smaller proportion of females.1 International immigration is largely driven by current employment opportunities. When the NORA region has better employment opportunities than immigrants’ home countries, flows are higher.
