 | Sweden was a good article, but it was removed from the list as it no longer met the good article criteria at the time. There are suggestions below for improving the article. If you can improve it, please do; it may then be renominated. Review: January 23, 2007. |
Edit request: found the missing citation, 25 July 2011
I found the citation that is missing under the education section, 3rd paragraph, in the part that talks about tertiary education:
https://www.tilastokeskus.fi/artikkelit/2006/art_2006-07-06_001.html
I found this citation source in the article about Finland, which discussed a similar set of statistics about its own tertiary education system.
Thanks!

Swedish 2017 GDP has reviewed
The recent GDP per capita checked at US $51,744 per person in a month. I've changed the data based on World Bank forum centre with a great effort. KaplanAL (talk) 21:54, 27 January 2017 (Western Indonesia Time)
Edit request 26 July 2021
The Culture section currently contains the following paragraph:
"Throughout the 1960s and 1970s Sweden was seen as an international leader in what is now referred to as the "sexual revolution", with gender equality having particularly been promoted. The early Swedish film I Am Curious (Yellow) (1967) reflected a liberal view of sexuality, including scenes of love making that caught international attention, and introduced the concept of the "Swedish sin" that had been introduced earlier in the US with Ingmar Bergman's Summer with Monika."
Please consider re-writing this paragraph because of the following issues:
- "I Am Curious (Yellow)" is a 1967 film, so it cannot be described as an "early" film. The "Swedish" description is also superfluous.
- "I Am Curious (Yellow)" is a 1967 film, so it cannot introduce a concept that had already been introduced in a 1953 film ("Summer with Monika").
- "Swedish Sin" is a US concept that was imposed on "Summer with Monika" by its US promoter and other US commentators. Whether it was actually a part of Swedish culture is therefore debatable (it may have been a part of a foreign view of that culture, but that's not the same thing). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 21:45, 26 July 2021 (talk)

Under the section religion, it says "At the end of 2018, 57.7% of Swedes belonged to the Church of Sweden; this number had been decreasing by about 1.5 percentage points a year for the previous seven years and one percentage point a year on average for the previous two decades."
According to official statistics from the Church of Sweden, 52.2% were members by the end of 2022. I therefore suggest changing to:
"At the end of 2022, 52.8% of Swedes belonged to the Church of Sweden; this number has been decreasing by 1-2% each year since 2001."

Adjusting/shortening the introduction
I would suggest shortening the introduction especially the history and nature part. It is a bit too long and it seems quite cluttered compared to other countries wikipedia pages. Does anyone have an objection to such an adjustment? Or have a suggestion to how it should look? Policynerd3212 (talk) 16:35, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
Discussion regarding immigration section which has been repeatedly deleted by TylerBurden
The immigration section which contains important and relevant information regarding the demographics of Sweden as well as contribution from several users has repeatedly been by deleted by TylerBurden - without gaining consensus.
I have restored this section, as I don't see any reason as to why this is not relevant information to maintain on the main page. Sweden has received hundred of thousands of immigrants in a very short time span. According to Statistics Sweden, over 2 million of Sweden’s inhabitants which is 20% of the population, are born abroad. This is significant and has changed the political landscape, culture and demographics in a major way. I would certainly argue that is very important to the country.
TylerBurden Please refrain from deleting this section unless you gain consensus to delete the section. Policynerd3212 (talk) 19:04, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
