Fafo-project: The Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Study in Norway (CILS-NOR)

The Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Study in Norway is a long term research program designed to study social mobility and cultural adaptation among children of immigrants and their majority peers in the capital region of Norway.

A baseline study among 16 year olds was conducted in 2016. Using updated register data and follow-up surveys, we will follow this cohort of adolescents through the educational system and into adulthood.

The CILS-design is a comprehensive, standardized method for studying intergenerational integration of children of immigrants, and has been implemented in the US, the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Sweden and Spain.

The first module of the CILS-NOR project was established in 2015 and concluded in 2020. The second module of the project will run from 2021 until 2025.
