need a national strategy
CEO of Global Forums, Bjørn Christian Nørbech, says he does not know well these statistics, but he is concerned about immigration in general and believe that Norway must have a national strategy to attract skilled workers from abroad.
– We tend to promote Norway as a tourist country, and not so much as an attractive country to work in. We must prepare for an aging population and that there will be a need for more workers in other sectors. One can not sit passively and hope that more people will come here to work, but create a strategy for labor, says Nørbech.
– Who should develop such a strategy?
– The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Labour and Industry and the Ministry of Education is working on various initiatives related to foreign workers in Norway. Labour has probably the most to say, and they have recently commissioned a report by the OECD to assess needs, says Nørbech to technical magazines.

Nørbech refers to a report from the Economic Forum, which shows that Norway is one of the countries that will need a lot of manpower coming years. The report “Global Talent 2021″ from Oxford Economics is based on 352 interviews with HR managers and surveys in 46 countries.
The greatest labor shortage is predicted to come in including Taiwan, Japan, Poland, Italy, Germany and the UK. While countries such as India, Indonesia, Colombia, Brazil and South Africa will have a surplus of skilled and trained manpower.
Nørbech who works with expats – knowledge workers who have moved to Norway in connection with the job. His impression is that many of them know very little about Norway when they get here.
– But there will eventually be a lot of positive forward, such that those who moved here because of work thrives because of good pay, flexibility, that it is a safe and stable society. More emphasizes that people are friendly here, and there is less competition and sharp elbows.
Nørbech says that especially family life and flexibility is perceived as very positive by migrant workers.
