On thin ice

Article Abstract:

The Social Democrats have been dominant in Swedish politics for the bulk of the 20th century, but support for the part dropped to 37% in fall 1998. This has led to speculation as to how long the decline will last, and has meant that the party is dependent on the Green and Left parties, which favor socialist economics. Labor unions are less influential than before, and they were an important part of Social Democrat support, and the demographic profile of the party is also ageing.

Article Abstract:

Foreign investment in Sweden has increased in the 1990s, though some large Swedish companies argue that high taxes could force them to relocate abroad. The end of currency control restrictions, low corporate taxation levels, and deregulation in a number of sectors including telecoms and energy, have all helped to attract foreign investment. Payroll taxes are high and there is concern at the high number of skilled researchers and engineers who are leaving Sweden.
