Population is based on the de facto definition of population, which counts all residents regardless of legal status or citizenship--except for refugees not permanently settled in the country of asylum, who are generally considered part of the population of their country of origin. Land area is a country's total area, excluding area under inland water bodies, national claims to continental shelf, and exclusive economic zones.

TwitterThe population in Sweden has been increasing at a steady pace over the past two decades. At the end of 2023, the population in Sweden amounted to 10.55 million inhabitants. Among them, 5.31 million were men and 5.24 million were women. That the Swedish population consisted of a higher number of men than women happened in 2015 after several years of a female majority.
More births than deaths 
One reason for the increasing population in Sweden is that the number of babies that are born each year is higher than the number of individuals that deceases. In 2022, 95,000 people died in the country, which was around 3,000 less compared to 2020, where the COVID-19 pandemic hit the hardest. In 2022, the number of births in Sweden was 105,000.
 More immigrants than emigrants 
However, the main reason for the increasing population in Sweden is not due to the higher number of births than deaths, but to the positive migration flow that has been consistent over the last decade. In 2022, there were around 50,000 more individuals arriving than leaving.
