Sweden's government: Socialist Swedes look to their Sweden government to provide jobs, health care, and more. “The most important thing to me is to open up the welfare system to more people… Those of us who are well off must stop complaining about taxes.” Can you imagine an American politician saying that, even if that was what he was thinking? Probably not, but Lars Engqvist, Sweden’s Minister for Health and Social Affairs, says it loud and proud on the Swedish Government’s website, and most Swedes probably wouldn’t want it any other way. Sweden is a constitutional monarchy. Technically, the King (or Queen) is head of state, but his only duties are ceremonial and he has no control over public policy. Sweden has a Prime Minister and 19 other Ministers. Its parliament is called the Riksdag. In the United States, there was furious debate over government funding of the National Endowment for the Arts, but in Sweden, there is a Ministry of Culture that promotes cultural heritage, radio and television, press and periodicals, and even ecclesiastical matters. As it did in many other countries, the labor movement became very powerful in Sweden in the late1800s. The first social democrats were elected in 1917, and after World War II, a purely Social Democratic government was introduced under the leadership of Per Albin Hanson. Other influential socialist prime ministers over the years have included Tage Erlander and Olof Palme, who was assasinated in 1986. In the late 1980’s and early 1990’s, industrial production fell, unemployment skyrocketed, and the national debt grew at an alarming rate. Many economists blamed a bloated welfare system that seemed out of control.

Legislative power is vested in the unicameral Riksdag, made up of 349 members elected by a system of proportional representation to four-year terms. The country's executive is the cabinet, headed by the prime minister, which must have the confidence of the Riksdag. Public administration is to a large extent decentralized, so that elected county and municipal governments play a major role in running the country.

Government and Politics : Politics Political Conditions Ordinary general elections to the Swedish Parliament are held every fourth year on the third Sunday in September. County council and municipal council elections take place at the same time. The next elections will be held in September 2006. There is a barrier rule intended to prevent very small parties from gaining representation in the Parliament. A party must thus receive at least 4% of the votes in the entire country or 12% in a single electoral district to qualify for any seats. In the 2002 election, the Social Democrats received 39.8% of the vote, up from 36.47% in 1998. The Social Democrats cooperate informally with the Left Party and the Greens, relying on them for a parliamentary majority and cooperating on social and budgetary issues. Based on the 2002 election results, seven parties are currently represented in the Parliament: the Social Democratic Party (39.8%; 144 seats), the Moderate party (15.2%; 55 seats), the Liberal party (13.3%; 48 seats), the Christian Democratic Party (9.1%; 33 seats), the Left Party (8.3%; 30 seats), the Center Party (6.1%; 22 seats), and the Green Party (4.6%; 17 seats). The Social Democratic Party has a base of blue-collar workers, intellectuals, and public sector employees. It derives much of its power from strong links with the National Swedish Confederation of Trade Unions (LO), which represents around 90% of Sweden's blue-collar workers. The party program combines a commitment to social welfare programs and government direction of the economy.

Sexual harassment common in Swedish schools Five out of ten girls and four out of ten boys feel sexual harassment is a problem at their school. "Half of all pupils at Sweden's upper secondary schools spend many hours every day in an environment where they know they risk harassment," says Eva Witkowska, a doctoral student at the National Institute for Working Life. Women with low education have lower perception of their health than men Women with a low level of education perceive themselves as having worse health than men do. This was shown in a recent study comparing women's and men's health and work conditions. "Women are subject to entirely different kinds of stress and strain in both paid and unpaid work than men are. This is partly because of the gender-segregated labour market and the unequal distribution of work in the family," says Raymond Dahlberg, a doctoral student at the National Institute for Working Life. Greater economic equality but reduced equality in general Economic equality between women and men increased from the early 1990s to the beginning of the 21st century, while equality in general reduced - in other words differences between young and old, those with low and high levels of education and between Swedes born in Sweden and born abroad increased.
