Sweden with lowest population growth in 22 years

Sweden saw its lowest population growth in 22 years in 2023.

That is revealed in a new report from Statistics Sweden.

Sweden’s population was 10 551 700 inhabitants at the end of 2023. The population increased by 30 200 people in 2023, which was the lowest population increase in absolute terms since 2001.

A decrease in the number of births, a lower number of immigrations as well as a higher number of emigrations are the reasons for the lower population increase during 2023 compared to previous years.
