Talk:Sweden

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)

Section regarding crime

Why is there a section regarding crime filed under Demographics? This does not appear to be standard procedure for country pages. Seems it should be moved to the Politics chapter, and possibly merged with the section on Judicial system.193.150.216.5 (talk) 23:38, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

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.[322] 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).

- "% muslim population needs to be seriously updated -- last source citation was from 2018; it needs to be reflected in the demographics section -- pie chart (often the only thing people look at) as it is well over 1.2% cited"

I think under the head "Administrative divisions" it should read in the penultimate paragraph: "Each county administrative board (not: boards) is led ..." perhaps somebody who is entitled to edit would like to correct it? Dan Elin (talk) 01:57, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

Fixed that and also updated with name change from county councils to regions.Sjö (talk) 06:38, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

New PM

Andersson doesn't officially take office as Prime Minister until November 26. --TylerBurden (talk) 15:27, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

Precedence

The speaker appoints the prime minister. It may not make sense to everyone but it is how it works in Sweden

Quote from the link:Talmansämbetet är den högsta post en person kan väljas till i Sverige. I rang kommer talmannen efter statschefen, alltså efter kungen, men före statsministern. (The office of Speaker is the highest elected official in Sweden. The speaker comes after the head of state in rank, i.e. the king, but before the prime minister.) If the offices in the infobox reflect rank the order should be the rank according to Swedish conditions, that is Monarch, Speaker and Prime Minister. However, if we choose an order based on actual power the rank should be Prime minister, Speaker and Monarch, but we really should not use a mix of the two systems. Sjö (talk) 17:46, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

"Power" is subjective, and irrelevant to the ordering when there's a clearly defined constitutional order of precedence.Lirae22 (talk) 07:00, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

Paragraph "Language": There are no continental Scandinavian languages

At the end of the paragraph "Language" is written:

• Because of the extensive mutual intelligibility between the three continental Scandinavian languages Swedish speakers often use their native language when visiting or living in Norway or Denmark.

This is wrong. There are three continental North Germanic languages – Swedish, Norwegian, Danish. These are the Scandinavian languages. Icelandic and Faroese are the insular North Germanic languages. The article "North Germanic languages" is full of this term "Continental Scandinavian". It might be used a lot elsewhere but it's nonsense, as Scandinavia isn't islands in the ocean but a part of continental Europe. Calling Faroese and Icelandic anything+Scandinavian is nonsensical too, as the Scandinavian languages are quite distantly related to old Scandinavian and Faroese+Icelandic. It'd make more sense to call Swedish, Norwegian and Danish "Continental Insular-North Germanic" as S-N-D are descendants of dialects/languages which resemble modern Faroese and Icelandic.

So ... please stick to scientific sense (people are fallible) and write it out as it is: Continental North Germanic; Insular North Germanic (or if you must: Continental Nordic and Insular Nordic. Faroese and Icelanders don't see them selves as Scandinavians (and they really aren't, albeit their cultures obviously are related). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.175.5.176 (talk) 11:29, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

There is more than one way to classify languages, and which one you choose to use depends on context. Continental Scandinavian (or Mainland Scandinavian) is a valid classification, and so is Insular Scandinavian. Insular Scandinavian does not sound very logical, but the term focuses on the Scandinavian origin of the languages, In this context, where focus is on the languages in Denmark, Norway and Sweden, Continental Scandinavian is a good term, and IMO there is no good reason to change it.

The crime section information is significantly out-dated. The crime in Sweden has risen significantly in recent years. Add the above information to this section. - Semi-protected edit request on 27 January 2022

However gun violence in Sweden (Swedish: skjutningar or gängskjutningar) has increased steeply among males aged 15 to 29 in the two decades prior to 2018, in addition to a rising trend in gun violence there was also a high rate of gun violence in Sweden compared to other countries in Western Europe.

By 2021, gun violence by crime gangs had increased tenfold since the early 1990s.

According to a report published by academic researchers in 2017, shooting incidents with fatal outcomes are about 4 to 5 times as common in Sweden compared to neighbouring countries such as Germany and Norway when taking population size into account. The city with the highest prevalence of shootings was Malmö. Based on 33 per cent of the population (2017), 58 per cent of those suspect for total crime on reasonable grounds are migrants. Regarding murder, manslaughter and attempted murder, the figures are 73 per cent, while the proportion of robbery is 70 per cent. Non-registered migrants are linked to about 13 per cent of total crime. Given the fact that this group is small, crime propensity among non-registered migrants is significant.
