Thousands of Polish children born in Norway

In 2010-2013, Polish mothers gave birth to 3,240 children in Norway, according to data from the country’s statistics office SSB quoted by Dziennik Gazeta Prawna.  This made Poles the top immigrant group in Norway in terms of births. Since 2004, when Poland joined the EU, there have been 7,175 children with Polish mothers born in Norway. The figures may be attributed to both increased Polish migration to Norway and the country’s social policies, the daily writes. Polish mothers are also on the top spot when it comes to immigrants having children in the UK. They are second in Germany, after Turkish mothers.
