Talk:Economy of Sweden

message: If the labor force is 4.46 million (Slightly less than 50% of the inhabitants) and 5.6% is unemployed, where's the rest of the population? Is it really that many that are underage, retired or students? 81.232.72.148 01:57, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: A rough calculation gives: The average retirement age is about 61 and people start to work at about 21 years of age, which gives 40 years of work. And with an average of 80 years life expectancy you get a working force of roughly 50% of the population. 81.227.0.152 (talk) 04:19, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Labor force

message: *It really needs a quick paragraph which summarises the economic situation/structure in Sweden at the start.
*There must be more interesting general facts about the Swedish economy than that it is no longer dominated by agriculture. It is not very interesting as this applies to practically all modern industrialised economies.
*The economic crisis of the 1990's should have its own more prominent section. I first thought the first section "overcoming the 1990's crisis" was the relevant section, but there is more information in the uneployment section, I later discovered. The article presently acknowledges the crisis as an important fact, but without clearly explaining what happened, and without more than an insinuation of the causes (provide references please!). I remember there was a massive speculation against the krona. Worth mentioning if it can be properly documented. Jens Nielsen 23:13, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That's completely unacceptable according to WP:PLAG - If the external work is under standard copyright, then duplicating its text with little, or no, alteration into a Wikipedia article is usually a copyright violation, unless duplication is limited and clearly indicated in the article by quotation marks. On quick reading, I do not feel confident enough to take apparently fairly drastic measures this plagiarism would imply, but hope a more experienced editor will decide on this.

thread_title: Where is the crisis of today

message: At the very start of the article this is written:
Because Sweden, as a neutral country, did not actively participate in the World War II, it did not have to rebuild its economic base, banking system, and country as a whole, as many other European countries did.
Why? I don't see the point of it as it isn't elaborated.
Also the statement is a part of a factoid, which states that the Swedish wealth was built upon its neutrality in WW 2. Which makes me think this sentence has no relevance whatsoever. - Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.53.108.15 (talk) 00:44, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: What does this part have to do with anything? 

message: Hello everyone, I am working for the International Trade Centre (ITC), a UN/WTO agency that aims to promote sustainable economic development through trade promotion. I would like to propose the addition of an external link (http://www.macmap.org/QuickSearch/FindTariff/FindTariff.aspx?subsite=open_access&country=SCC752%7cSweden&source=1|ITC Market Access Map) that leads directly to our online database of customs tariffs applied by Sweden. Visitors can easily look up market access information for Sweden by selecting the product and partner of their interest. I would like you to consider this link under the WP:ELYES #3 prescriptions. Moreover, the reliability and the pertinence of this link can be supported by the following facts 
1) ITC is part of the United Nations, and aims to share trade and market access data on by country and product as a global public good
2) No registration is required to access this information
3) Market access data (Tariffs and non-tariff measures) are regularly updated
Thank you,

message: For example "Sweden is a world leader in privatized pensions" as if only good has come of that (ask Argentina that was recently forced to natioanlize their pensions). Or; "Swedish labor market has become more flexible, but it still has some widely acknowledged problems" as if stability in the labour market utilizing more protective regulations than others leads to only problems. "Overall, GDP growth has been fast since reforms in the early 1990s, especially in manufacturing.[33]" Not as fast as during the more social democratic years of the 50-60's. But again that's true of the whole world, the US included. "Taken together, both fiscal consolidation and pension reform have brought public finances back on a sustainable footing." That may be but it is today speculated that Sweden will not be able to afford the same pension standards to the new generation precisely because of a decline in the capitalist markets in which the money is invested and because of a decline in growth. Basically the new swedish centre left and centre right has opted to finance large parts not only through private investments but by burdening the current labour force with the current elderlies pensions. They have effectively stolen billions of Krona from old citizens. 78.68.210.173 (talk) 22:48, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
