The 2005 Swedish census showed an increase of 1,488,322 compared to the 1990 census, an average increase of 88,680 annually. During the 1930s, birth rate increased by more than 88128.5 children per year while death rates fell and immigration surged. In the early 2000s, birth rate declined as immigration increased further, with the context of unrest in the Middle East, upholding steady population growth.<ref>{{cite web|url = https://unstats.un.org/unsd/censuskb20/KnowledgebaseArticle10161.aspx|title = The 2005 population and housing census in Sweden will be totally register-based|website = Census Knowledge Base|publisher = United Nations Statistics Division|access-date = 11 October 2018|archive-date = 11 October 2018|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20181011214729/https://unstats.un.org/unsd/censuskb20/KnowledgebaseArticle10161.aspx|url-status = dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|first=Åke|last=Bruhn|url=http://unstats.un.org/unsd/demographic/meetings/egm/Symposium2001/docs/symposium_13.htm|title=The 2005 population and housing census in Sweden will be totally register-based|publisher=Symposium on Global Review of 2000 Round of Population and Housing Censuses: Mid-Decade Assessment and Future Prospects|date=6 July 2001|access-date=12 March 2017|postscript=: Does not provide figures, only methodology.|archive-date=1 November 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161101233636/http://unstats.un.org/unsd/demographic/meetings/egm/symposium2001/docs/symposium_13.htm|url-status=live}}</ref>

===Population projections===
In 1950 Sweden had fewer people aged 10–20 with more people ages 20–30 and 0–10. In 2017 the ratio of male to female remains steady at about 50–50. As a whole, the graph broadens with people appearing to live longer. In 2050 it is predicted that all ages will increase from below 300,000 males and females to above 300,000 males and females. With about 50,000 people living to the ages of 90–100. In 2100 the graph is shaped as a rectangle with people of all ages and genders remaining steady. It narrows slightly at the top of the graph with about 250,000/300,000 males and females living to be 90–100 years old.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://esa.un.org/unpd/wpp/Graphs/DemographicProfiles/|title=World Population Prospects – Population Division – United Nations|website=Esa.un.org|access-date=16 December 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171201032629/https://esa.un.org/unpd/wpp/Graphs/DemographicProfiles/|archive-date=1 December 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref>

=== Urbanisation and population density ===
The [[population density]] is just over 25 people per km<sup>2</sup> (65 per square mile), with 1,437 persons per km<sup>2</sup> in localities (continuous settlement with at least 200 inhabitants).<ref name="SCB2020">{{cite web| url = https://www.scb.se/en/finding-statistics/statistics-by-subject-area/environment/land-use/localities-and-urban-areas/pong/statistical-news/localities-and-urban-areas-2018-population-2019/| title = Densification in half of Sweden's urban areas| access-date = 9 August 2020| archive-date = 5 August 2020| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20200805131606/https://www.scb.se/en/finding-statistics/statistics-by-subject-area/environment/land-use/localities-and-urban-areas/pong/statistical-news/localities-and-urban-areas-2018-population-2019/| url-status = live}}</ref><sup>,</sup><ref name="SCB2019">{{cite web| url = https://www.scb.se/en/finding-statistics/statistics-by-subject-area/environment/land-use/localities-and-urban-areas/pong/statistical-news/localities-2018/| title = Roughly 87 percent of the population lives in localities and urban areas| access-date = 9 August 2020| archive-date = 9 August 2020| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20200809160442/https://www.scb.se/en/finding-statistics/statistics-by-subject-area/environment/land-use/localities-and-urban-areas/pong/statistical-news/localities-2018/| url-status = live}}</ref> 87% of the population live in urban areas, which cover 1.5% of the entire land area.<ref name="SCB2018">[https://www.scb.se/contentassets/745b357fd3b74ffd934fc4004ce5cf62/mi0810_2018a01_sm_mi38sm1901.pdf Statistiska tätorter 2018] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200909021440/https://www.scb.se/contentassets/745b357fd3b74ffd934fc4004ce5cf62/mi0810_2018a01_sm_mi38sm1901.pdf |date=9 September 2020 }} page 33</ref> 63% of Swedes are in large urban areas.<ref name="SCB2018" /> The population density is substantially higher in the south than in the north.  The capital city Stockholm has a municipal population of about 950,000 (with 1.5 million in the urban area and 2.3 million in the metropolitan area). The second- and third-largest cities are Gothenburg and Malmö. Greater Gothenburg counts just over a million inhabitants and the same goes for the western part of Scania, along the [[Öresund]]. The [[Öresund Region]], the Danish-Swedish [[cross-border region]] around the Öresund that Malmö is part of, has a population of 4 million. Outside of major cities, areas with notably higher population density include the agricultural part of Östergötland, the western coast, the area around Lake Mälaren and the agricultural area around Uppsala.

[[Norrland]], which covers approximately 60% of the Swedish territory, has a very low population density (below 5 people per square kilometer). The mountains and most of the remote coastal areas are almost unpopulated. Low population density exists also in large parts of western Svealand, as well as southern and central Småland. An area known as ''Finnveden'', which is located in the south-west of Småland, and mainly below the 57th parallel, can also be considered as almost empty of people.

The majority of the population are ethnic [[Swedish people|Swedes]], or people who can trace most of their ethnicity to Sweden going back at least 12 generations. The [[Sweden Finns]] are a large [[ethnic minority]] comprising approximately 50,000 along the Swedish-Finnish border, and 450,000 first and second-generation immigrated [[Finns#Finnish-speaking Finns|ethnic Finns]], mainly living in the [[Mälaren Valley]] region. [[Meänkieli language|Meänkieli Finnish]] has official status in parts of northern Sweden near the Finnish border.

In addition, Sweden's indigenous population groups include the [[Sámi people]], who have a history of practicing hunting and gathering and gradually adopting a largely semi-nomadic reindeer herding lifestyle.

==Migration==
[[File:Swedish population pyramid by background.gif|thumb|Population pyramid segmented by background. Swedish background in color, foreign background in gray]]
Prior to World War II, emigrants generally outnumbered immigrants. Since then, net migration has been positive with many immigrants coming to Sweden from the 1970s through today.

=== Emigration===

Between 1820 and 1930, approximately 1.3 million Swedes, a third of the country's population at the time, [[Swedish emigration to North America|emigrated to North America]], and most of them to the United States. There are more than 4.4 million [[Swedish Americans]] according to a 2006 US Census Bureau estimate.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://factfinder.census.gov/faces/tableservices/jsf/pages/productview.xhtml?pid=ACS_06_EST_DP2&prodType=table |archive-url=https://archive.today/20200212212411/http://factfinder.census.gov/faces/tableservices/jsf/pages/productview.xhtml?pid=ACS_06_EST_DP2&prodType=table |url-status=dead |archive-date=12 February 2020 |title=United States – Selected Social Characteristics: 2006 |publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]] |access-date=21 March 2014 }}</ref> In Canada, the community of [[Swedish Canadian|Swedish ancestry]] is 330,000 strong.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www12.statcan.ca/english/census06/data/highlights/ethnic/pages/Page.cfm?Lang=E&Geo=PR&Code=01&Data=Count&Table=2&StartRec=1&Sort=3&Display=All&CSDFilter=5000 |publisher=[[Statistics Canada]] |title=Ethnocultural Portrait of Canada Highlight Tables, 2006 Census |access-date=30 June 2008 |date=2 April 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130723224016/http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2006/index-eng.cfm |archive-date=23 July 2013 |url-status=live }}</ref>

The demographic profile of Sweden has altered considerably due to immigration patterns since the 1970s. As of 2020, [[Statistics Sweden]] reported that around 2,686,040 or 25.9% of the inhabitants of Sweden were from a foreign background: that is, each such person either had been born abroad or had been born in Sweden to two parents who themselves had both been born abroad.<ref>{{cite web|title=Number of persons by foreign/Swedish background, age, sex and year|url=http://www.statistikdatabasen.scb.se/pxweb/en/ssd/START__BE__BE0101__BE0101Q/UtlSvBakgTot/table/tableViewLayout1/?rxid=e1516862-0838-41d6-85f4-253c59012bdb|publisher=Statistics Sweden|access-date=31 March 2017}}{{Dead link|date=November 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> Also taking into account people with only one parent born abroad, this number increases to one third (33.5%).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.statistikdatabasen.scb.se/pxweb/sv/ssd/|title=Statistikdatabasen – välj tabell|website=Statistikdatabasen.scb.se|access-date=16 December 2017|archive-date=26 December 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171226235447/http://www.statistikdatabasen.scb.se/pxweb/sv/ssd/|url-status=live}}</ref>

Additionally, the birth rate among immigrant women after arriving in Sweden is somewhat higher than among ethnic Swedes.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.scb.se/sv_/Hitta-statistik/Publiceringskalender/Visa-detaljerad-information/?publobjid=9030++|title=Visa detaljerad information|website=Scb.se|access-date=16 December 2017|archive-date=20 October 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171020070327/http://www.scb.se/sv_/Hitta-statistik/Publiceringskalender/Visa-detaljerad-information/?publobjid=9030++|url-status=live}}</ref> Taking into account the fact that immigrant women have on average fewer{{citation needed|date=December 2016}} children than Swedish women of comparable age, however, the difference in total birth rate is only 0.1 children more if the woman is foreign born – with the disclaimer that some women may have children not immigrating to and not reported in Sweden, who are thus not included in the statistics.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.scb.se/sv_/Hitta-statistik/Artiklar/Far-utrikes-fodda-fler-barn/|title=Får utrikes födda fler barn?|newspaper=Statistiska Centralbyrån|access-date=29 October 2016|archive-date=14 September 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160914013257/http://www.scb.se/sv_/Hitta-statistik/Artiklar/Far-utrikes-fodda-fler-barn/|url-status=live}}</ref>

====Historical immigration====
;World War II
[[Immigration]] increased markedly with [[World War II]]. Historically, the most numerous of foreign born nationalities are [[ethnic Germans]] from [[Germany]] and other Scandinavians from [[Denmark]] and [[Norway]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2014-11-10 |title=Immigrants in Norway, Sweden and Denmark |url=https://www.ssb.no/en/befolkning/artikler-og-publikasjoner/immigrants-in-norway-sweden-and-denmark |access-date=2024-06-29 |website=ssb.no |language=en}}</ref> In short order, 70,000 [[Finnish war children|war children]] were evacuated from [[Finland]], of which 15,000 remained in Sweden. Also, many of Denmark's nearly 7,000 [[Jew]]s who were evacuated to Sweden decided to remain there.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Rescue in Denmark |url=https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/rescue-in-denmark |access-date=2024-12-22 |website=encyclopedia.ushmm.org |language=en}}</ref>

A sizeable community from the [[Baltic countries]] ([[Estonia]], [[Latvia]] and [[Lithuania]]) arrived during the Second World War.<ref name = "Integrationsverket">{{cite book|publisher = The Swedish Integration Board |date=2006|title = Pocket Facts: Statistics on Integration |website= Integrationsverket|isbn =91-89609-30-1|url =http://www.integrationsverket.se/upload/Publikationer/Pocketfacts.pdf|url-status = dead |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070605070239/http://www.integrationsverket.se/upload/Publikationer/Pocketfacts.pdf|archive-date = 5 June 2007}}</ref>

;1945 to 1967
During the 1950s and 1960s, the recruitment of [[Migrant worker|immigrant labour]] was an important factor of immigration. The Nordic countries signed a [[Nordic Council|trade agreement]] in 1952, establishing a common labour market and free movement across borders. This migration within the Nordic countries, especially from Finland, was essential to create the tax-base required for the expansion of the strong public sector now characteristic of Scandinavia.<ref>{{Cite web |last=managedfi |date=2020-08-09 |title=Finns Abroad |url=https://www.swedishfinnhistoricalsociety.org/2020/08/09/finns-abroad/ |access-date=2025-03-07 |website=Swedish Finn Historical Society |language=en-US}}</ref> but the influx gave rise to an [[anti-Finnish sentiment]] within Sweden and Norway.
This continued until 1967, when the labour market became saturated, and Sweden introduced new immigration controls.

On a smaller scale, Sweden took in [[political refugees]] from Hungary and the former [[Czechoslovakia]] after their countries were invaded by the Soviet Union in 1956 and 1968, respectively.

====Contemporary immigration====
[[File:Swedish and foreign born population pyramid in 2022.svg|thumb|250x250px|Swedish and foreign born population pyramid in 2022]]
Since the early 1970s, immigration to Sweden has been mostly due to refugee migration and family reunification from countries in the [[Middle East]] and [[Latin America]].<ref name="MPI">[http://www.migrationinformation.org/usfocus/display.cfm?ID=406 Sweden: Restrictive Immigration Policy and Multiculturalism] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100805212457/http://www.migrationinformation.org//USfocus//display.cfm?ID=406 |date=5 August 2010 }}, Migration Policy Institute, 2006.</ref>
According to [[Eurostat]], in 2010, there were 1.33 million foreign-born residents in Sweden, corresponding to 14.3% of the total population.

Immigrants from [[Western Asia]] have been a rapidly growing share of Sweden's population. According to the government agency [[Statistics Sweden]], the number of immigrants born in all of [[Asia]] (including the Middle East) rose from just 1,000 in 1950 to 295,000 in 2003.<ref name="scb.se">{{cite web|page=96|title=Immigration and emigration in the postwar period, Yugoslav immigration was substantial|publisher=Statistics Sweden|date=2004|url=http://www.scb.se/statistik/_publikationer/BE0701_1950I02_BR_BE51ST0405.pdf|access-date=16 December 2017|archive-date=20 October 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171020070320/http://www.scb.se/statistik/_publikationer/BE0701_1950I02_BR_BE51ST0405.pdf|url-status=live}}</ref> Most of those immigrants came from [[Iraq]], [[Iran]], [[Lebanon]] and [[Syria]], according to Statistics Sweden.<ref name="scb.se"/>

Immigration of [[Iraqis in Sweden|Iraqis]] increased dramatically during the [[Iraq War]], beginning in 2003. A total of 8,951 Iraqis came to Sweden in 2006, accounting for 45% of the entire Iraqi migration to Europe. By 2007, the community of Iraqis in Sweden numbered above 70,000. In 2008, Sweden introduced tighter rules on asylum seekers.<ref name=Swedentightens>{{cite web | url =https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSL06873099 | title =Sweden tightens rules on Iraqi asylum seekers | date =6 July 2007 | access-date =14 December 2010 | publisher =reuters.com | archive-date =1 January 2016 | archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20160101124326/http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSL06873099 | url-status =live }}</ref>

A significant number of [[Syriac Christianity|Syrian Christian]]s have also settled in Sweden. There have also been immigrants from South-Central Asia such as [[Afghanistan]] and [[India]]. Since the [[European migrant crisis]], Syrians became the second-largest group of foreign-born persons in the Swedish civil registry in 2017 with 158,443 people (after former [[Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia|Yugoslavia]]).

Note that the table below lists the citizenship the person had when arriving in Sweden, and therefore there are no registered [[Eritrea]]ns, [[Russia]]ns or [[Bosnia]]ns from 1990, they were recorded as [[Ethiopia]]ns, [[Soviets]] and [[Yugoslavs]]. The nationality of Yugoslavs below is therefore people who came to Sweden from the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia before 1991 and people who came from today's Montenegro and Serbia before 2003, then called the [[Serbia and Montenegro|Federal Republic of Yugoslavia]]. Counting all people who came from Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo, Macedonia, Serbia and Montenegro, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, there were 176,033 people from there in 2018.

==Language==
{{main|Swedish language|Languages of Sweden}}
The [[Swedish language]] is by far the dominating language in Sweden, and is used by the government administration. English is also widely spoken and is taught in public schools.

Since 1999, Sweden has five officially recognised [[minority language]]s: [[Sámi language|Sámi]], [[Meänkieli]], [[Finnish language|Finnish]], [[Romani language|Romani]] and [[Yiddish language|Yiddish]].

The [[Sámi languages]], spoken by about 20,000–30,000 people worldwide,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Gollegiella |url=https://www.sametinget.se/gollegiella |access-date=2024-08-24 |website=Sametinget |language=sv}}</ref> may be used in [[Government agencies in Sweden|government agencies]], [[court]]s, [[preschool]]s and [[nursing home]]s in 26 municipalities: [[Arjeplog Municipality|Arjeplog]], [[Arvidsjaur Municipality|Arvidsjaur]], [[Berg Municipality|Berg]], [[Dorotea Municipality|Dorotea]], [[Gällivare Municipality|Gällivare]], [[Härjedalen Municipality|Härjedalen]], [[Jokkmokk Municipality|Jokkmokk]], [[Kiruna Municipality|Kiruna]], [[Krokom Municipality|Krokom]], [[Luleå Municipality|Luleå]], [[Lycksele Municipality|Lycksele]], [[Malå Municipality|Malå]], [[Sorsele Municipality|Sorsele]], [[Skellefteå Municipality|Skellefteå]], [[Stockholm Municipality|Stockholm]], [[Storuman Municipality|Storuman]], [[Strömsund Municipality|Strömsund]], [[Sundsvall Municipality|Sundsvall]], [[Umeå Municipality|Umeå]], [[Vilhelmina Municipality|Vilhelmina]], [[Vindeln Municipality|Vindeln]], [[Åre Municipality|Åre]], [[Åsele Municipality|Åsele]], [[Älvdalen Municipality|Älvdalen]], [[Örnsköldsvik Municipality|Örnsköldsvik]] and [[Östersund Municipality|Östersund]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Förvaltningskommuner |url=https://www.sametinget.se/24399 |access-date=2024-08-24 |website=Sametinget |language=sv}}</ref>

During the mid to late 20th and early 21st centuries, immigrant communities brought other languages, such as [[Persian language|Persian]], [[Serbo-Croatian language|Serbo-Croatian]], [[Arabic language|Arabic]] and [[Neo-Aramaic languages|Neo-Aramaic]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ethnologue.com/show_country.asp?name=SE |title=Sweden |publisher=Ethnologue |date=19 February 1999 |access-date=3 October 2013 |archive-date=4 May 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090504083031/http://www.ethnologue.com/show_country.asp?name=SE |url-status=live }}</ref>

==Religion==
{{Main|Religion in Sweden}}

The majority (52.1%) of the population belongs to the [[Church of Sweden]],<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.svenskakyrkan.se/(S(fvb4e145gu2pccrropgrsj55))/filer/1374643/Medlemmar%20i%20Svenska%20kyrkan%201972-2023.pdf?id=2705246|title=Svenska kyrkans medlemsutveckling år 1972–2023|trans-title=Swedish church's membership development from 1972–2019|language=sv|publisher=Church of Sweden|access-date=24 June 2024|archive-date=5 August 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240805221823/https://www.svenskakyrkan.se/%28S%28fvb4e145gu2pccrropgrsj55%29%29/filer/1374643/Medlemmar%20i%20Svenska%20kyrkan%201972-2023.pdf?id=2705246|url-status=dead}}</ref> the [[Lutheran]] church that was disestablished as a [[state church]] in 2000. Until 1996, those who had family members in the church automatically became members at birth.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.csmonitor.com/1995/1004/04061.html|title=Sweden Snaps Strong Ties Between Church and State|author=Wendy Sloane|newspaper=The Christian Science Monitor|date=4 October 1995|access-date=15 January 2016|archive-date=20 October 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171020151116/https://www.csmonitor.com/1995/1004/04061.html|url-status=live}}</ref> Other Christian denominations in Sweden include the [[Catholic Church|Roman Catholic Church]] (see [[Catholic Church in Sweden]]), several [[Eastern Orthodox Church|Orthodox churches]] in diaspora, [[Baptist]], [[Pentecostalism|Pentecostal]], Neo-pietistic (''nyevangeliska'') and other evangelical Christian churches (''frikyrkor'' = 'free churches'). [[Shamanism]] persisted among the [[Sámi people]] up until the 18th century, but no longer exists in its traditional form as most Sámi today belong to the [[Lutheranism|Lutheran]] church.

[[Jews]] were permitted to practice their religion in five Swedish cities in 1782, and have enjoyed full rights as citizens since 1870. The new Freedom of Religion Bill was passed in 1951, and former obstacles against Non-Lutherans working in schools and hospitals were removed. Further, that bill made it legal to leave any religious denomination, without entering another. There are also many [[Islam in Sweden|Muslims]], as well as a number of [[Buddhism in Sweden|Buddhists]] and [[Baháʼí Faith|Baháʼís]] in Sweden, mainly as a result of 20th and 21st century immigration. There is also a small [[Zoroastrian]] community in Sweden.<ref>{{Cite book|title=The Zoroastrian Flame: Exploring Religion, History and Tradition|last1=Stewart|first1=Sarah |last2=Hintze|first2=Almut|last3=Williams|first3=Alan|publisher=I.B Tauris|year=2016|isbn=9781784536336|location=London}}</ref>
