Stockholm is the Capital of Sweden and in 2023, close to 985,000 people lived in the municipality. Since 2010, the population there has been growing consistently. While more people are moving to Stockholm, the city area is not growing at the same speed, leading the population density to increase as well. Forecasts for the city expect continuous growth of population over the next forty years.

Economy

In Stockholm, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita was around 734,000 Swedish kronor in 2021. That was much higher than the average GDP per capita in all of Sweden with around 517,000 SEK in 2021. Though it must be noted that living costs are very high in the city and have been increasing in the last years. For example, the average rent per square meter in Stockholm has been rising every single year.

Employment A high majority of people living in Stockholm have a workplace. The employment rate in Stockholm is at 73.6 percent as of 2021.  The sector with the highest number of employees in Stockholm is professional, scientific, technical, and administrative activities, followed by wholesale and retail trade.

In the Swedish Capital of Stockholm, the unemployment rate rose to eight percent in 2020 after the outbreak of COVID-19. It fell slightly in 2021, but was still higher than in the years before the outbreak of the pandemic, and dropped below seven percent in 2022.

About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the population of Stockholm by gender across 18 age groups. It lists the male and female population in each age group along with the gender ratio for Stockholm. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population distribution of Stockholm by gender and age. For example, using this dataset, we can identify the largest age group for both Men and Women in Stockholm. Additionally, it can be used to see how the gender ratio changes from birth to senior most age group and male to female ratio across each age group for Stockholm.

The Stockholm Birth Cohort Study (SBC) was created in 2004/2005 by a probability matching of two anonymized longitudinal datasets; The Stockholm Metropolitan study and The Swedish Work and Mortality Database (WMD). The former involves all children born 1953 that lived in the Stockholm metropolitan area as of November 1, 1963, while the latter comprises data for the period 1980-2009 on all individuals living in Sweden in 1980 or 1990, and born before 1986.

The study comprises data from both surveys and public register records. The core of the project consists of three surveys from The Stockholm Metropolitan study; The School Study (1966), The Family Study (1968), and The Culture and Leisure Time Study (1985). There is also a wide range of register data, for instance delivery records, occupational and income data, welfare recipiency data, health records, mortality data, educational data, and dependency and child welfare committee data.

The Stockholm Birth Cohort offers unique opportunities for longitudinal research within various fields such as sociology, public health science, and psychology. So far the datasets have resulted in more than 140 publications which have dealt with, among other things, whether and how childhood circumstances affect later social outcomes in adult life.

Purpose:

To aim is to create a new tool for life-course studies of health outcomes as well as social outcomes for research in fields such as psychology, public health science, and sociology.

The project 'Family and Working Life in the 21st Century' (YAPS) began in 1998. The aim was to establish a longitudinal database for studying the mutual relationship between values and demographic behavior. The values one holds influence how crucial decisions are made, such as moving in with a partner, having children, or changing jobs. The project analyzes both the significance of values for partnership formation and childbearing in early adulthood (up to 35 years of age) and how values regarding family and work change over time, depending on changes in family situation. To achieve this, panel data is required, meaning data from the same individuals at two or more points in time. This allows for distinguishing between selection and adaptation effects.

The first survey was conducted in the spring of 1999 and targeted individuals who were 22, 26, or 30 years old at the time of the survey. There were two different samples: one consisting of individuals with two Swedish-born parents, and one of individuals with one or both parents born in Poland or Turkey. A second survey round took place in the spring of 2003, when the respondents were four years older. The 2003 survey also included a new group of 22-year-olds in the Swedish sample. A third data collection was conducted in the spring of 2009.

In addition to variables collected through the surveys, a number of background variables were obtained from Statistics Sweden’s Total Population Register (RTB) and Education Register. These data refer to January 1999 and January 2003, respectively.

The response rate for the 1999 survey was 67% for the Swedish sample, 60% for respondents with a Polish background, and 49% for respondents with a Turkish background. In the 2003 survey, the response rate for the Swedish sample was 72%—78% for respondents who also participated in the 1999 survey and 60% for the new sample (born in 1980)—and for the second-generation sample, the response rate was 67% (69% for those with a Polish background and 65% for those with a Turkish background).
