Iraqis made up the second-largest group of foreign-born citizens, followed by Sweden's neighboring country, Finland. The total number of foreign-born citizens living in the Scandinavian country increased over the past 10 years. Migration contributes to population growth Sweden's positive net migration rate meant that it's population increased steadily since 2000. In 2022, over 100,000 people immigrated to Sweden, which was still significantly lower than the record year 2016. Syrians fleeing civil war The record number of refugees arriving in 2016 was driven by Syrians fleeing the Civil War in the country. Following the Arab spring and protests for democracy in 2011, fighting broke out between the Syrian national army and several armed factions. Several million people fled the country as a result, some of them seeking refuge in Sweden.

In 2023, people from 30 to 39 years of age made up the largest age group in Sweden. There were nearly 1.5 million people who belonged to this age group. People aged 50 to 59 years made up the second largest age group in Sweden, followed by people between 40 and 49 years. Moreover, there were nearly 1.2 million children between zero and nine, and 3,000 people aged 100 years or more.

Increasing population

Since 2000, the Swedish population increased steadily. This is mainly explained by the country's positive migration flow, but also that more people are being born than people dying.

Decreasing fertility rate

Even though the Swedish population increased steadily during this century, the country's fertility rate decreased steadily since 2010. In 2023, the number of babies born reached a record low. In Europe, however, Sweden's fertility rate is higher than the average.

This dataset was generated through the Diversity Barometer, a study tracking attitudes towards ethnic diversity and immigration in Sweden since 2005. The data were collected annually between 2005 and 2014, and biennially thereafter. Unweighted samples, consisting of adults aged between 18 and 75 years were used. The data can be managed and analyzed in the statistical program SPSS. The dataset includes the following variable categories: 1. Respondent descriptives 2. Interaction with persons with foreign background at school, work and in the neighborhood. 3. Cultural rights for persons with foreign background. 4. Social rights for persons with foreign background. 5. Immigration as beneficial to the Swedish society. 6. Immigration as a threat to the Swedish society. 7. Attitudes towards Swedish immigration policies. 8. Immigrants are exploited in the Swedish labor market. 9. Interest in interacting with immigrants and learning foreign cultures. 10. Attitudes towards religion in general, and Islam in particular. 11. Willingness to live in the same neighborhood as immigrants. 12. Immigrant-neighborhoods are problem neighborhoods.

The majority of immigrants moving to Sweden in 2023 were Swedes returning to Sweden. Nearly 10,600 Swedes returned to their home country in 2023. The remaining top five countries of origin were India, Poland, Germany, and Syria. In total, 95,000 people immigrated to Sweden in 2023.

Syrians largest immigrant group

Of Sweden's foreign-born population, Syrians made up the largest group. Following the outbreak of the Syrian Civil War in 2011, many people left the country in search of a better life in Europe, some of which landed in Sweden. In 2022, Sweden hosted the world's 7th largest group of Syrian refugees.

Immigration drives population increase in Sweden

Over the past decade, Sweden has seen a positive migration rate, with more people immigrating to the country than people leaving. This is one of the main reasons why the country's population has been increasing steadily over recent years.

The Swedish population is forecast to increase over the next years. The total number of inhabitants in Sweden was around 10.6 million in 2023. According to the forecast, there will be approximately 13.8 million people living in Sweden by 2100.

The database FOLKNET contains information about the population in Sweden’s parishes, cities and municipalities according to the geographical division around 1990, every ten years during the period 1810–1990.

The data has been collected by Christian Svärd, and the Demographic Data Base has digitized the information. The information has mainly been taken from Statistics Sweden’s historical publications. Additional data have been collected from the population forms of the database TABVERK.

The database POPULATION is freely available from the home page of the Demographic Data Base.

The employment rate among Sweden's foreign-born population increased slowly from 2011 to 2019, but fell in 2020 after the outbreak of COVID-19, reaching 60.6 percent in 2021. Following the peak of the pandemic, this increased to 67.1 percent in 2023. Simultaneously, the unemployment rate increased, nearly reaching 20 percent in 2021 after being around 15 percent in the years before the pandemic. It then fell to pre-pandemic levels in 2022, and reached 15.1 by 2023. By comparison, the overall employment rate in Sweden was 69.4 percent in 2023, making it five percentage points higher than among the foreign-born population.

** percent of the respondents in Sweden stated that they had been discriminated against at work based on their ethnic background, and another ** percent had been discriminated against when applying for a job.

Over the last 10 years, the average age of the population in Norway increased. In 2014, the average age was 39.4, whereas it had reached 41.3 at the beginning of 2024. In 2024, there were roughly 5.6 million inhabitants in the Scandinavian country.

In both Denmark, Finland, and Sweden, people aged 70 years or more made up the largest age group in 2023. This is especially the case in Finland and Sweden, with ******* and *** million people in this age group, respectively. Meanwhile, people between 30 and 39 years formed the largest age group in Iceland. Sweden is the Nordic country with the largest total population.

Over the past decade, the share of foreign pupils in primary schools in Sweden increased steadily. In the school year 2014/15, the share of foreigners in Swedish primary schools was below 20 percent. By 2023/24, this had increased to 27 percent.

The average annual disposable income in Sweden varies by region of origin. In 2020, the highest average income was found among native-born Swedes, who had an average income of over ******* Swedish kronor that year. Meanwhile, people from African countries had the lowest average disposable income that year, which amounted to only ******* Swedish kronor, meaning that they earned on average ******* Swedish kronor less than the Swedish-born population.

We note that we include only do files, and a log file of our work and not any raw data. This is because, as we note in the online appendix, we use individual level data from Swedish registers. The data material is located on an encrypted server to which we have to log in through a remote desktop application in order to perform all of our data analyses. Due to the sensitivity of the data, we are under contractual and ethical obligation not to distribute these data to others. For those researchers who want to replicate our results there are two ways to get access to the ad- ministrative data. The first way is to order the data directly from Statistics Sweden (SCB). Statis- tics Sweden presently requires that researchers obtain permission from the Swedish Ethical Review Board before data can be ordered (a description of how to order data from Statistics Sweden is available at: https://www.scb.se/en/services/guidance-for-researchers-and-universities/). We will also make available a complete list all of the variables that we ordered from Statistics Sweden for this project, together with the statistical code used for the analyses. The second way to replicate our analyses is to come to Sweden and reanalyze these data through the same remote server system that we used. Researchers interested in using this option should reach out to us prior to coming to Sweden so that we can apply for approval from the Ethical Review Board for the researcher to temporarily be added to our research team, which is mandatory in order to get access to the remote server system.

Population size is a main indicator of conservation potential, thought to predict both current and long-term population viability. However, few studies have directly examined the links between the size and the genetic and demographic properties of populations, using metrics that integrate effects across the whole life cycle. In this study, we combined six years of demographic data with SNP-based estimates of genetic diversity from 18 Swedish populations of the orchid Gymnadenia conopsea. We assessed whether stochastic growth rate increases with population size and genetic diversity, and used stochastic LTRE analysis to evaluate how underlying vital rates contribute to among-population variation in growth rate. For each population, we also estimated the probability of quasi-extinction (shrinking below a threshold size) and of a severe (90%) decline in population size, within the next 30 years. Estimates of stochastic growth rate indicated that ten populations are declining, seven increas..., The dataset contains six years of demographic data (2017-2022) from each of 18 populations of Gymnadenia conopsea on the island of Öland in Sweden, and the code to run integral projection models in R., , # Population viability of the orchid Gymnadenia conopsea increases with population size but is not related to genetic diversity
