| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study is to examine how Nepalese immigrants adapt to life in the Norwegian labor sector. In other words, the aim of this study was to explore how Nepali immigrants in Norway experience the process of integration, especially in the field of employment. The impressions of Nepali immigrants in Norway, based on their own experiences and opinions, were explored using qualitative research methods as they integrated into the country. A total of 11 semi-structured interviews were conducted for this study over the course of five months in the fall of 2020 with my informants to learn about their narratives and perspectives.
Using the phenomenological approach and applied integration theory analysis, I explored how these people described their personal experiences. The labor market in Norway and the process of integration into society were described in detail by the informants who had come to Norway without a job offer or any other prospect of stable employment.
Employment is crucial for the informants' integration, as shown by the results, which are consistent with the previously found 'effectors' for integration, such as language skills and social contacts, as well as structural and disguised prejudice. Self-confidence, social status, language skills, and financial situation are directly and indirectly related. The study also explores how immigrants' perceptions and identities develop as a result of their immigration experience. | en_US |
