Quote:

"Only a generation ago, thousands of Norwegians were forced to leave their country in search of work, emigrating mainly to the US. Now the population is expanding fast - more than 13% are immigrants, attracted by plentiful jobs, high wages and a comprehensive care system. People from Sweden, the old rival and not so long ago far richer than Norway, stream in to work.

"The growth since the early 1970s of one of the world's biggest oil and gas industries lies behind much of Norway's present-day wealth. * * * Norway has handled its oil wealth very carefully - all but a small percentage of money from the industry is invested in a special fund for the benefit of future generations.
