The Faroe Islands are experiencing a woman shortage.
The Island’s population is 50,000, and they have a “gender deficit” of 2,000 more men than women.
Increasingly, Faroese men are bringing women in from Asia, and there are currently 300 women from Thailand and the Phillipines, and Asians now make up the largest ethnic minority.
The immigrants are also very active in the Faroes’ work force.
While finding a husband may be fairly easy, the tropical women are having a difficult time with the cold, wet climate, lack of even English speakers, and sometime remote and isolated lifestyles.
