Population

In addition to the Norwegians, Sami (around 60,000; mainly in Finnmark) live as minorities, some of whom continue their traditional way of life as fishermen and reindeer herders, and the descendants of former immigrants from Finland (12,000) in the country; Russians on Svalbard too. The share of foreign citizens in the total population is (2015) 13% (mainly Poles, Swedes, Lithuanians, Somalis and Germans).

The population density (2017: 14 residents per km ²) is the lowest in mainland Europe. In Northern Norway (Finnmark) it sinks to 2 and rises over the Oslofjord area with 60–100 residents per km ² to 1,440 residents per km ²in Oslo. In Finnmark and in the peripheral municipalities of Norway, the population is steadily decreasing. Because of the mountainous nature of the country, only a few settlement areas remain: the coastal platform, large valleys, terraces on the fjords and the few flatter areas on the coast (Jæren) or inland. Over 80% of all Norwegians live less than 15 km from the coast.

Religion

The constitution (last amended in May 2012) guarantees all citizens with the exception of the king freedom of religion (Articles 4 and 16 [previously Articles 2 and 4]). The most important and largest religious community, the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Norway (“Norske Kirke”), with its traditionally close ties to the Norwegian state, occupies a special position. Since the constitutional amendment mentioned, it is no longer the “official religion of the state”; rather, the amended Article 2 of the constitution declares Norway’s values ​​to be based on the “Christian and humanist heritage”. The Norwegian Church is no longer a state church in the narrower sense, but is still referred to in Article 16 as the “Church of Norway” and as such – in proportion to other religions – is state financed; all clergymen remain civil servants.profess Evangelical Lutheran faith. However, he is no longer obliged to protect and promote them; the right of church leadership previously held by the king is also no longer applicable (since 1984 parts of the power of attorney have been transferred to the general synod). Even after the constitutional reform, numerous tasks of the central church administration remain with the Ministry for Government Affairs, Reform and Church Affairs (until 2006 with the Ministry for Church and Education), but the church’s self-administration is given more powers, for example in the appointment of provosts and bishops.

The majority of the population is Christian: 71.5% (2016) officially belong to the Lutheran »Norske Kirke«, approx. 6% belong to other Protestant denominations (Pentecostals, Free Church Lutherans, Methodists, Baptists, etc.) or other Christian denominations such as the Catholic Church (2.9% of the population) or Orthodoxy. The “Norske Kirke” is divided into 11 dioceses. The Catholic Church comprises the exemte diocese of Oslo and two exemte territorial prelatures (Tromsø; Trondheim).

The largest, rapidly growing non-Christian religious minority are Muslims (just under 3% of the population; mosque in Oslo). There are also small groups of Buddhists, Hindus and Baha’is. There are Jewish communities (around 800 members in total) in Oslo (founded in 1892) and Trondheim (founded in 1905). Less than 17% of the population are without religious affiliation.
