From 2011 to 2015, the number of under-18s applying for asylum in Iceland remained below 100, except for 2015 even below 50. However, after the influx of refugees to Europe in 2015 and 2016, the number increased sharply, showing an increase of almost 150 percent from 2015 to 2016. After that, the number never fell below 150. In 2021, there were 280 asylum applications from under-18s registered.
