Norwegian term

rettighets-medborgerskap

Norwegian to English Social Sciences Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc. research
Sorry, folks - another difficult one. Social matters again:
Her vandrer ungdom inn og ut med både et mulig rettighets-medborgerskap og et mulig dannings-medborgerskap, altså både formelle posisjoner og substansielle erfaringer.
Does anyone know if there is such a phrase as rights citizenship, or could it be a privileged citizenship - surely not citizenship rights/right of citizenship? (The document talks about both Norwegian nationals and immigrants into Norway).
Advice appreciated!
TIA,
Helen

citizenship by birth and marriage / automatic citizenship?

Just a suggestion - I understand the term as a citizenship you do not have to apply for, but will get automatically.
