Population February 9th 2018 Population 2018 Same population estimate as last year Same population estimate as last year January 1st 2018 there lived 55.877 persons in Greenland. Thus, the population increased by 17 persons during 2017 and the population count is almost unchanged. Summary table 1.

Particularly in Nuuk, where the increase amounted to 196 persons. 31.8 per cent. (17,796) of the population now lives in Nuuk. In total the population estimates for the settlements decreased by 225 persons from 7,356 to 7,131. However, the high displacement in Avannaata Kommunia was not voluntary but caused by the natural disaster that struck the settlements Illorsuit and Nuugaatsiaq in the summer of 2017. Figure 1.

On average, 403 more people moved from Greenland than to, each year throughout the period. In 2017 a total of 2,287 people immigrated while 2,736 people emigrated. Net emigration in 2017 was therefore 449 persons, markedly higher than the average annual net emigration since 1993. Figure 3.

In total there now live 970 foreign citizens in the country. From the table in our StatBank it can be found that especially Icelandic citizens have left Greenland (from 204 persons in 2016 to 127 this year). Philippine citizens now counts 215 (22.2 pct) of foreigners in Greenland. Based on a preliminary calculation of the number of live births and deaths in 2017 shows the key figures for population trends in 2017 ( summary table 4) Summary table 4.

For the estimates Statistics Greenland uses the same concepts as Statistics Denmark. Read more about the family concepts in www.stat.gl/BED201605/o1 (Danish and Greenlandic only) In brief, a family consists of one or more persons from the same household, linked to each other through pairings or kinship. A household may consist of multiple families, but a family can in reverse not have members from several households. Illustration. A household* consisting of 3 families * A household consists of all persons with identical address in the central register of persons As of January 1, 2018 there are 55,329 persons in 29,554 families in 22,128 households or 1.3 family per household on average. In addition, 548 persons are registered with an administrative address. Population 2018 Page 5 Methods Register on Population Statistics The basis for the population statistics is Statistics Greenlands Population register. Information in this register is retrieved from the Danish civil registration system (CPR). Status statements relate to persons who resided in the country per January 1st. The residence criterion is described by the Danish Home Office in 'Guidance on registration of residence in population registers and civil registration'. Delays in reporting Births, deaths, movings, etc. are supposed to be reported no later than 5 days after an incident. But some reports are delayed. When calculating the statistics we take this into account and await the delayed reports. There is no time-limit for reporting or correcting information in the system. Migrations Information on each incident is reported by the municipal authority, who records information when it comes to their knowledge. Not all people who move are aware of deadlines and their duty to report. When we look at how much time elapses between an incident and when it is reported, we can see that about 60 percent of all immigration and emigration were recorded within the first week. Number of days between incident and report. 2013 Immigrants Emigrants 90 pct. 31 days 76 days 95 pct. 68 days 218 days 99 pct. 203 days 397 days To provide current statistics to our users, we only wait one calendar month after the status date. To make it simple, migrations are counted only if there are less than 5 years (1,825 days) between the incident and reporting. None of the migrations where reported that late in 2017. Information from the Danish CPR-system The Population Statistics Register holds only selected information from the CPR system. It includes no information on a person’s attachment to the national church or his name. The received basic information are sought for errors. Information on sex and age are derived directly from the person number, which only in isolated cases are erroneous. These errors are typically corrected within the child's first year. The locality code is extracted from the register address information. There is generally more uncertainty associated with this information, because there are differences in how the addresses are entered in the registers. From 2009 a location code has been defined to every address, and is used unchanged in the processing and dissemination of statistics. The location code is defined by Population 2018 Page 6 Asiaq (www.asiaq.gl) and an unofficial rule of thumb indicates that "a locality may not be further apart than one can live and have daily work within the locality."

    N O R D I C M E D I A T R E N D S 10 Media and Communication Statistics Faroe Islands and Greenland 2008 Compiled by Ragnar Karlsson NORDICOM UNIVERSITY OF GOTHENBURG 2008 NORDICOM’s activities are based on broad and extensive network of contacts and collaboration with members of the research community, media companies, politicians, regulators, teachers, librarians, and so forth, around the world. The activities at Nordicom are characterized by three main working areas. Media and Communication Research Findings in the Nordic Countries Nordicom publishes a Nordic journal, Nordicom Information, and an English language journal, Nordicom Review (refereed), as well as anthologies and other reports in both Nordic and English langu- ages. Different research databases concerning, among other things, scientific literature and ongoing research are updated continuously and are available on the Internet. Nordicom has the character of a hub of Nordic cooperation in media research. Making Nordic research in the field of mass communication and media studies known to colleagues and others outside the region, and weaving and supporting networks of collaboration between the Nordic research communities and colleagues abroad are two prime facets of the Nordicom work. The documentation services are based on work performed in national documentation centres at- tached to the universities in Aarhus, Denmark; Tampere, Finland; Reykjavik, Iceland; Bergen, Norway; and Göteborg, Sweden. Trends and Developments in the Media Sectors in the Nordic Countries Nordicom compiles and collates media statistics for the whole of the Nordic region. The statistics, to- gether with qualified analyses, are published in the series, Nordic Media Trends, and on the homepage.

BROWN1 and RASMUS OLE RASMUSSEN3 (Received 9 April 2002; accepted in revised form 2 January 2003) ABSTRACT. West Greenland’s transition from a cod-fishing to a shrimp-fishing economy, ca. 1960–90, provides a case study in the human dimensions of climatic change. Physical, biological, and social systems interacted in complex ways to affect coastal communities. For this integrated case study, we examine linkages between atmospheric conditions (including the North Atlantic Oscillation), ocean circulation, ecosystem conditions, fishery activities, and the livelihoods and population changes of two West Greenland towns: Sisimiut, south of Disko Bay, and Paamiut, on the southwest coast.
