The population density in Sweden increased over the past 10 years, reaching 25.9 inhabitants per square kilometer in 2023. During that year, the population of Sweden reached 10.55 million.

Stockholm county had the highest population density

Sweden consists of 21 counties, administrative regions that primarily control public healthcare, public transport, and culture within the county. Among these, the most populated county is the capital region, Stockholm county, with a population density of 375 inhabitants per square kilometer in 2022. Stockholm county is followed by Skåne, with 129 inhabitants per square kilometer. The least populated county is Norrbotten, with only 2.6 inhabitants per square kilometer.

Land area of the Scandinavian countries

Though the population density in Sweden is increasing, the country still has a lot of surface area compared to its population. Of the Scandinavian countries, Sweden is the largest with a land area of over 447,000 square kilometers, but Norway is larger if the islands of Svalbard and Jan Mayen are taken into account.

The QoG Institute is an independent research institute within the Department of Political Science at the University of Gothenburg. Overall 30 researchers conduct and promote research on the causes, consequences and nature of Good Governance and the Quality of Government - that is, trustworthy, reliable, impartial, uncorrupted and competent government institutions. The main objective of our research is to address the theoretical and empirical problem of how political institutions of high quality can be created and maintained. A second objective is to study the effects of Quality of Government on a number of policy areas, such as health, the environment, social policy, and poverty. QoG Standard Dataset is our largest data set consisting of more than 2,000 variables from sources related to the Quality of Government. In the QoG Standard CS dataset, data from and around 2018 is included. Data from 2018 is prioritized, however, if no data is available for a country for 2018, data for 2019 is included. If no data exists for 2019, data for 2017 is included, and so on up to a maximum of +/- 3 years. In the QoG Standard TS dataset, data from 1946 to 2021 is included and the unit of analysis is country-year (e.g., Sweden-1946, Sweden-1947, etc.). In the QoG Standard TS dataset, data from 1946 to 2021 is included and the unit of analysis is country-year (e.g., Sweden-1946, Sweden-1947, etc.). Historical countries are in most cases denoted with a do-date (e.g. Ethiopia (-1992) and a from-date (Ethiopia (1993-)). QoG-institutet är ett oberoende forskningsinstitut som tillhör Statsvetenskapliga institutionen vid Göteborgs universitet. Sammanlagt är det ungefär 30 forskare som bedriver internationell forskning om orsaker till och konsekvenserna av korruption och samhällsstyrningens kvalitet. Forskningen fokuserar på det teoretiska och empiriska problemet hur politiska institutioner av hög kvalitet kan skapas och upprätthållas, samt studerar effekterna av samhällsstyrningens kvalitet på ett antal olika politikområden, som exempelvis hälsa, miljö, socialpolitik och fattigdom. QoG Standard Dataset är vår största datauppsättning som består av mer än 2 000 variabler från källor relaterade till konceptet Quality of Government. I QoG Standard CS dataset ingår data från omkring 2018. Data från 2018 är prioriterat, men där inga uppgifter finns tillgängliga för 2018 för ett specifikt land så ingår data för 2019. Om inga uppgifter finns tillgängliga för 2019 så ingår data för 2017 och så vidare upp till max +/- 3 år. I QoG Standard TS dataset ingår data från 1946 till 2021 och analysenheten är land-år (t.ex. Sverige-1946, Sverige-1947, etc.). I QoG Standard TS datasetet ingår data från 1946 till 2021 och analysenheten är land-år (t.ex. Sverige-1946, Sverige-1947, etc.). För historiska länder redovisas i de flesta fall även år för när landet upphörde att existera (exempelvis Etiopien (-1992)). Likaså redovisas årtal för om ett land återkommer i en annan form (exempelvis Etiopien (1993-)). Time-series dataset: 194 countries which are members of the United Nations well as previous members of the UN provided that their de facto sovereignty has not changed substantially since they were members. Plus an addition of 17 historical countries. A total of 211 nations. Cross-sectional dataset: 194 countries which are members of the United Nations well as previous members of the UN provided that their de facto sovereignty has not changed substantially since they were members. Tidsseriedataset: 194 länder som är medlemmar i FN eller som tidigare varit medlemmar och vars suveränitet inte förändrats sedan medlemskapet. Samt 17 nationer som upphört att existera. Totalt 211 nationer. Tvärsnittsdataset: 194 länder som är medlemmar i FN eller som tidigare varit medlemmar och vars suveränitet inte förändrats sedan medlemskapet.

The number of people born outside of Sweden as a share of the Swedish population increased since 2010. That year, 1.38 million of the country's inhabitants were born outside of Sweden, whereas this number had increased to 2.17 million by 2023. In other words, foreign-born citizens made up around 20 percent of the population in Sweden in 2023. Of the 2.17 million people born outside of Sweden, the highest number came from Syria.

In 2019, there were approximately 302,020 British citizens living in Spain, with a further 293,061 in Ireland and 176,672 in France. By comparison, there were only 604 British people living in Slovenia, the fewest of any European Union member state. As a member of the European Union, British citizens had the right to live and work in any EU member state. Although these rights were lost for most British citizens after the UK left the EU in 2020, Britons already living in EU states were able to largely retain their previous rights of residence. EU citizens living in the UK EU citizens living in the UK face the same dilemma that British nationals did regarding their legal status after Brexit. In the same year, there were 902,000 Polish citizens, 404,000 Romanians, and 322,000 people from the Republic of Ireland living in the UK in that year, along with almost 2 million EU citizens from the other 24 EU member states. To retain their rights after Brexit, EU citizens living in the UK were able to apply for the EU settlement scheme. As of March 2024, there have been around 7.9 million applications to this scheme, with Romanian and Polish nationals the most common nationality at 1.71 million applications, and 1.23 million applications respectively. Is support for Brexit waning in 2024? As of May 2024, the share of people in the UK who think leaving the EU was the wrong decision stood at 55 percent, compared with 31 percent who think it was the correct choice. In general, support for Brexit has gradually eroded since April 2021, when 46 percent of people supported Brexit, compared with 43 percent who regretted it. What people think Britain's relationship with the EU should be is, however, still unclear. A survey from November 2023 indicated that just 31 percent thought the UK should rejoin the EU, with a further 11 percent supporting rejoining the single market, but not the EU. Only ten percent of respondents were satisfied with the current relationship, while nine percent wished to reduce ties even further.
