La population de la Suède selon le Nouvel atlas national de Suède

Summary

This article summarizes the population of Sweden based on the volume on population in the New National Atlas of Sweden. In 1990, Sweden had 8.6 million inhabitants, with a low average density and a high degree of urbanization (83% living in localities). Its demographic profile is characterized by low birth and death rates, slow growth, and significant aging, yet it also boasts one of the world's lowest infant mortality rates and a recent rebound in fertility. The article highlights Sweden's exceptional long-term statistical records, established since the 17th century through church registries and later official statistics, making it a unique case for studying demographic transition. It further discusses the country's uneven geographical population distribution, urbanization, mobility, human resources, and socio-cultural dynamics, noting the atlas's innovative blend of maps, texts, and graphics.
