People born in Syria made up the largest group of Sweden's foreign-born population in 2023. Nearly ******* people born in Syria lived in Sweden as of 2023. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ethnic Diversity and Preferences for Redistribution attempts to explain if individual's preferences for redistribution change if the ethnic diversity increases in a municipality. In this case, selected parts of the Swedish Election Studies has been matched with municipal data for the time period between 1985 and 1994, when Sweden had an active placement program of refugees. This meant that the refugees themselves were not allowed to decide where to settle, but instead they were places in municipalities which had contracts with the Swedish Integration Board (Invandrarverket). Originally the idea of the program was to direct the refugees to municipalities with good labor market conditions, but since the number of refugees arriving to Sweden were larger than expected, so in practice more or less all municipalities were a part of the program. With the placement program refugees spread more across the country, than before the program. Ethnic Diversity and Preferences for Redistribution focus primarily on refugees from nations which not were members in the OECD 1994 and Turkey.

The data comes from the Swedish Election Studies survey waves for the elections in 1982, 1985, 1988, 1991 and 1994. Primarily it consists of various background variables and variables about individual's preferences for private health care, nuclear power and social benefits. The municipal data primarily consist of various socio-economic and political variables, such as population, tax base, welfare spending and share of refugees. Some of these variables are the average of the term (1986-1988, 1989-1991, and 1992-1994).

Purpose:

Investigate the causal link between the ethnic diversity in a society and its inhabitants´ preferences for redistribution.

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.

** 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.

Abstract

Introduction Migration is an increasing phenomenon and associated with a physical and psychosocial burden on individuals. Little is known about migration and skin health. The objective of this study is to describe the characteristics of patients regarding migration background and dermatological morbidity among adults seen in a dermatological out-patient clinic in Malmo, Sweden.

Methods An observational cross-sectional study was performed in 2017. Dermatological outpatients completed questionnaires and were examined by a dermatologist. Sociodemographic variables including ethnicity and migration status were assessed by self-report. Ethnicity was assessed with country of birth. General and physical health and details about skin disease were self-reported. Stress was assessed by the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and with items assessing stressful life events and economic difficulties. Depression and anxiety were assessed with The Patient Health Questionnaire-2 (PHQ-2) and The General Anxiety Disorder Assessment-2 (GAD-2).

Results 250 patients were included. 24% were foreign born (FB) reporting 41 different countries of birth. Mean duration of living in Sweden was 24.4 years. Compared to non-foreign born (NFB) patients, FB patients were more stressed (PSS mean 17.5 vs 15.3, p = 0.044), had more economic difficulties (31.0% vs 14.6%, p = 0.005) and more anxiety (39.7% vs 24.9%, p = 0.03). There were significantly fewer patients with psoriasis in FB and more with connective tissue disease. FB rated skin disease severity significantly higher than NFB patients

Conclusion This study reports the multi-ethnic population in an out-patient dermatological clinic in Malmo, Sweden and the difference in distribution of dermatological conditions among FB patients and NFB patients as well as the burden of disease, with higher levels of stress and anxiety in FB patients. These issues will be investigated further by our group in a larger multicentre study.

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.

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 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.

This survey is the Swedish part of the 1995 'International Social Survey Program' (ISSP), and it focuses on national identity. Respondents were asked to comment on various topics regarding national identity, such as how 'close' they felt to Sweden, national pride, Sweden's relations with other countries, and treatment of immigrants and minority groups. Those queried were asked to describe the pride they felt towards Sweden's accomplishments in the following areas: political influence, economics, social security, science and technology, sports, the arts, armed forces, history, and treatment of others. A series of questions probed for respondents' views regarding international relations, including foreign trade restrictions, international problem-solving attempts, foreign language education, the purchase of land by foreigners, the nationality of television programs and movies, and the benefits of membership in regional international organizations. Respondents were also asked to assess their countries´ treatment of minority groups and immigrants. Topics covered the preservation of minority traditions, the impact of immigrant groups on crime, the economy, the job market, cultural openness, special provisions for political refugees, and the citizenship process. Demographic variables include age, sex, education, marital status, personal and family income, employment status, household size and composition, occupation, religion, social class, union membership, political party, political orientation, race, ethnicity, language fluency, demographics of community, and citizenship.

Purpose:

ISSP aims to design and implement internationally comparable attitude surveys. The study in 1995 investigating National identity: Sweden.

There were over ****** applicants to the Swedish cross-skiing race Vasaloppet and to the winter week, recorded between July 2023 and June 2024. This was an increase from the previous period. The modern competition began in 1922 and is held annually on the first Sunday of March. It is a 90 kilometer cross-country skiing race, inspired by the Swedish king Gustav Vasa's liberation journey while fleeing from the King of Denmark's soldiers in the 1500s.
