ITS STABILITY AND NOT BEING AN EU MEMBER HAS HELPED NORWAY AVOID THE ECONOMIC DISRUPTION AFFECTING SO MANY COUNTRIES GLOBALLY. THE HIGH LEVEL OF SECURITY AND WELFARE ENSURED BY THE NORWEGIAN STATE HAS ATTRACTED MANY IMMIGRANTS IN SEARCH OF NEW OPPORTUNITIES, BETTER THAN IN THEIR HOMELANDS. SUDDENLY, THE SMALL, HOMOGENOUS STATE HAS FACED NEW CHALLENGES SUCH AS THE INTEGRA TION OF IMMIGRANTS AND RESHAPING THE POLICIES IN ORDER TO GUARANTEE EQUAL RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS FOR ITS DIVERSE POPULATION, NOT AN EASY TASK FOR A CONSISTENT AND UNIFIED SOCIETY. HOWEVER, THE NORWEGIAN STATE HAS CREATED A FRAMEWORK TO MANAGE THE ISSUE WITHOU T ANY DISCRIMINATION. THE MINISTRY OF CHILDREN, EQUALITY AND SOCIAL INCLUSION HAS THE RESPONSIBILITY TO COORDINATE THE POLICIES AND LEGISLATION CONCERNING EQUALITY, DISCRIMINATION AND INTEGRATION.
