Immigrants to Norway in the 1960s were mostly from neighboring Nordic countries, with whom
they shared a common labor market. By the end of the 1960s, with a strong economy and
population shortage, Norway admitted guest workers from Pakistan, Morocco, then Yugoslavia,
and Turkey. The labor migrants were expected to be temporary, but many settled in Norway.
