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.

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)

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.

"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)
