Martin: Nei, det visste jeg ikke. Det er vanskelig å forestille seg. Anne: Ja, men selv om innvandringen tok av på 70-tallet, så var det likevel vanlig å rekruttere fagfolk fra utlandet helt tilbake til middelalderen. Martin: Hva med arbeidsinnvandringen? Anne: Jo, vi deler innvandring inn i tre kategorier; rekruttering av fagfolk, arbeidsinnvandring og flyktninger. Martin: Så ettersom vi rekrutterte fagfolk fra middelalderen av, når startet arbeidsinnvandringen? Anne: Den startet på 1800-tallet og varte helt til 70-tallet. Martin: Åja, som pappen min altså. Han kom jo til Norge på 60-tallet for å jobbe. Anne: Virkelig? Da har han vært her noen tiår, ikkesant? Martin: Ja. Hvordan kan du alt dette forresten? Anne: Jeg leser rundt på nettet så klart. ----Formal English---- Anne: Did you know that Norway was considered as a relatively homogeneous society until the 1970s? Martin: No, I didn't know. It's hard to imagine. Anne: Yes, but even though immigration took off in the 70's, it was still common to recruit professionals from abroad all the way back to the Middle Ages. Martin: What about the labor migration? Anne: Yes, we divide immigration into three categories: recruitment of professionals, labor immigration, and refugees. Martin: So, since we recruited professionals from the Middle Ages onward, when did the labor migration start? Anne: It started in the 1800s and lasted until the 70s. Martin: Oh, like my dad then. He came to Norway in the 60s to work. Anne: Really? Then he has been here a couple of decades, right? Martin: Yes. How do you know all this by the way? Anne: I read it around on the Internet of course. --------------------------- Learn Norwegian with NorwegianClass101!
