Non-Western immigration is draining Norway’s oil wealth.
Non-Western immigrants make up 14% of Norway’s population, 768,000 people.
According to SSB researchers and public figures, this group represents a net fiscal burden on the state budget that equals or exceeds what Norway spends from its oil fund every year.
In 2025, Norway used 452 billion NOK from the oil fund to balance the budget.
In the period 2010–2018, non-Western immigrants in working age payed on average only 49% of the tax paid by other Norwegians in the same age group. In 2024 the employment rate was 63% (full- or part-time), with only 43% in full-time jobs. The same year 74% of all social welfare payments in Norway went to immigrants.
When excluding Western immigrants, a typical non-Western immigrant receives up to 26 times more social assistance than the average Norwegian. They also consume more of other public services: integration grants, housing support, child benefits, interpretation, healthcare, dental care, child welfare, police, courts, and prisons.
An anonymous SSB researcher put it bluntly: While native Norwegians and Western/EU immigrants often contribute positively, non-Western immigrants are “taking the oil revenues” plus transfers from the others.
In short, the average non-Western immigrant creates a net cost to the state of roughly 588,000 NOK per year. Combined, this explains a huge part of why we’re forced to spend oil money just to keep the welfare system running.

If GPS cannot interfere with a plane’s navigation why do it turn off with airplane mode then 🙄
@Kolex06@lerrycryptos@RubiRubidoooo How many people own satellite phones? GPS signals can only be received; there is no back communication to GPS satellites for they only broadcast, so GPS cannot interfere with a plane's navigation.
@IncoKenzie@lerrycryptos@RubiRubidoooo It connects to satellite when you don’t have signal to a cellular tower + GPS turns off when you are on airplane mode.
