Sweden is the largest kingdom of Scandinavia, located in Northern Europe. At 450,295 square kilometers (173,860 square miles), Sweden is also third largest country in Europe. Housing approximately 9.7 million inhabitants, placing it quite low (eighteenth) on the “EU Populations list”
Population density was relatively low, with greater emigration than immigration up till the year 1930, when Sweden experienced its first wave of increased immigration. Industrialization, stable governance and a warm caring social system has made Sweden an attractive choice for people looking to excel in any growing field.
Being one of handful countries that still provide free higher education for all EU citizens, multilingualism is quite common in Sweden with 86% of the native population able to speak English.
Stockholm has made itself known on the map by leading the world with its music, fashion and politics, the openness of feminism; pride festivals and a free thinking tolerant society are only a few attributes of the city. Widely known for its deep connection with nature, it is no surprise Stockholm is referred to as the “Venice of the North” with its city rich with history and beauty surrounding it from all directions.
An uncertainty has been rising in Sweden, reflected mainly in the collapse of the elected government in December 2014 leading to the first snap election in 57 years. A substantial increase in votes to a right wing party that emphasises on harsh immigration rules has revealed dramatic changes to the political world. Riots and crimes alike (Unrelated to football hooliganism) are increasing in suburban areas of Stockholm where disintegration is widely known. The threat of Islamic extremists traveling to war zones like ISIS is imminent. The number of homeless people in Stockholm is also increasing exponentially. High numbers of divorce and suicide is also the norm.
