The household type with the highest disposable income

The type of household with the highest disposable income in Sweden during 2021 was couples cohabiting with one or more adult children from 20 to 29 years. These households had on average a disposable income of more than one million Swedish kronor.

 Single-person household had the lowest disposable income

The most common type of households in Sweden in 2022 were single-person households without children, followed by cohabiting or married couples without children. Single-person households in 2021 were the household type that had the lowest average disposable income, amounting to 280,000 Swedish kronor. Single-women households without children had a lower average income than single-men.

In Sweden, the annual average disposable income varies greatly between the different types of households. Whereas cohabiting households with children aged 20 to 29 had an average income of more than one million Swedish kronor in 2021, it was only 262,000 Swedish kronor for single women without children. The annual average household disposable income in Sweden that year was 536,600 Swedish kronor.

 Cohabiting and single households

The statistic paints a clear picture of cohabiting couples being far better off than single person households, regardless of whether they have children or not. Moreover, it is clear that cohabiting pairs with adult children, where both parents have been economically active for several years, are better off than the couples with younger children. On average, slightly more than two persons live in a Swedish household.

Most common type of household

The household with the lowest average income is also the most common type of household in Sweden. In 2022, over two million households in the country were single person households without children. Cohabiting couples without children made up the second most common type of household, followed by cohabiting couples with children.

In 2025, Luxembourg was the country with the highest gross domestic product per capita in the world. Of the 20 listed countries, 13 are in Europe and five are in Asia, alongside the U.S. and Australia. There are no African or Latin American countries among the top 20. Correlation with high living standards While GDP is a useful indicator for measuring the size or strength of an economy, GDP per capita is much more reflective of living standards. For example, when compared to life expectancy or indices such as the Human Development Index or the World Happiness Report, there is a strong overlap - 14 of the 20 countries on this list are also ranked among the 20 happiest countries in 2024, and all 20 have "very high" HDIs. Misleading metrics? GDP per capita figures, however, can be misleading, and to paint a fuller picture of a country's living standards then one must look at multiple metrics. GDP per capita figures can be skewed by inequalities in wealth distribution, and in countries such as those in the Middle East, a relatively large share of the population lives in poverty while a smaller number live affluent lifestyles.

In the build up to the Second World War, the United States was the major power with the highest gross domestic product (GDP) per capita in the world. In 1938, the United States also had the highest overall GDP in the world, and by a significant margin, however differences in GDP per person were much smaller. Switzerland In terms of countries that played a notable economic role in the war, the neutral country of Switzerland had the highest GDP per capita in the world. A large part of this was due to the strength of Switzerland's financial system. Most major currencies abandoned the gold standard early in the Great Depression, however the Swiss Franc remained tied to it until late 1936. This meant that it was the most stable, freely convertible currency available as the world recovered from the Depression, and other major powers of the time sold large amounts of gold to Swiss banks in order to trade internationally. Switzerland was eventually surrounded on all sides by Axis territories and lived under the constant threat of invasion in the war's early years, however Swiss strategic military planning and economic leverage made an invasion potentially more expensive than it was worth. Switzerland maintained its neutrality throughout the war, trading with both sides, although its financial involvement in the Holocaust remains a point of controversy. Why look at GDP per capita? While overall GDP is a stronger indicator of a state's ability to fund its war effort, GDP per capita is more useful in giving context to a country's economic power in relation to its size and providing an insight into living standards and wealth distribution across societies. For example, Germany and the USSR had fairly similar GDPs in 1938, whereas Germany's per capita GDP was more than double that of the Soviet Union. Germany was much more industrialized and technologically advanced than the USSR, and its citizens generally had a greater quality of life. However these factors did not guarantee victory - the fact that the Soviet Union could better withstand the war of attrition and call upon its larger population to replenish its forces greatly contributed to its eventual victory over Germany in 1945.
