Background

Immigrants

Immigrant is defined as an individual that is born abroad and has parents that both are born abroad and have a foreign background. That means that both grandparents are born abroad.

Locals

Local is used for everyone that cannot be defined as an immigrant. Local can be seen as a broad category that includes many sub-categories. For example a person can be seen as local if they have no foreign background, if they are born abroad but have an Icelandic background, individuals that are born in Iceland and have one parent that is an immigrant, and an individual that is born abroad and has Icelandic grandparents. Second generation immigrants are categorized as locals
