According to the research of archaeologists, with the gradual melting of inland snow during the ice age, the surrounding areas of Sweden were inhabited in the Stone Age. They live near the Baltic Sea and mainly make a living by hunting, gathering and fishing.

Traces of trade activities show that in the Bronze Age, the population of southern Sweden was quite dense.

In the 9th century and10th century, Viking culture developed in Sweden, and developed eastward through trade, aggression and colonization, affecting the Baltic Sea, Russia and the Black Sea.

In A.D. 1389, Norway, Denmark and Sweden wore monarchs, but each country still maintained its own national identity, which was called the Kalmar Union in history.

In the 20th century, Sweden remained neutral in the international arena, and its homeland was relatively peaceful. Unlike the United States, Sweden has a capitalist system and a perfect welfare security system, which is characterized by "high wages, high taxes and high welfare". In the 1960s and 1990s, Sweden's economy developed rapidly and people's living standards improved greatly.

Sweden, with a population of less than 9 million, is a negligible market from a macroeconomic point of view. This feature determines that foreign trade is particularly important to Sweden. The main natural resources are forests, hydropower and iron ore.

Private enterprises account for 90% of industrial production, of which 50% are export or import projects. Agriculture only accounts for 2% of GDP; Only 2% of the employed population in China is engaged in agricultural production. Due to the government's austerity, 200 1 has a large surplus; However, due to the global economic recession, the surplus in 2002 was sharply reduced by half.

Communication, machinery manufacturing, construction engineering and transportation are important basic industries in Sweden.

Sweden H & many internationally renowned brands, such as Volvo Cars, Saab Cars and Weapons, Ericsson Communications, Electrolux, ABB, Tetra Pak aseptic packaging, Hasselblad cameras, IKEA furniture and H & ampm clothes, etc. According to the proportion of population, Sweden has the largest number of multinational companies in the world.

Human population

See: Swedish population.

Sweden has a high life expectancy and a low birth rate. After World War II, a large number of immigrants poured in, contrary to before the war. At present,/kloc-0.2% of the population in China was not born in Sweden, and one fifth of the population is immigrants or descendants of immigrants. Most immigrants come from Finland, the former Yugoslavia, Iran, Norway, Denmark and Poland, which reflects the phenomenon of large population mobility, early labor migration and late refugee tide in Northern Europe.

The earliest immigrants were Finns. About 70,000 Finnish children were exiled to Sweden during World War II, and15,000 of them lived in Sweden after the war. 1950-60 years, Finland's economy was in trouble after the war, and a large number of Finnish unemployed people went to Sweden, where the economy took off. At its peak, there were 400,000 Finns in Sweden. 1973 during the energy crisis, the number of unemployed people in Sweden increased, and Finland benefited from trade with its neighboring Soviet Union, and the number of returnees gradually decreased to 200,000.

Swedish belongs to Germanic language family, which is related to Danish and Norwegian, but its pronunciation and writing are different. English is the most common second language, especially for people under 50. Swedish is undoubtedly the most common language, so the official language seems to be an unnecessary political issue.

festival

Holidays in Sweden are mainly Catholic festivals and traditional festivals, such as midsummer and Gith Night in Valppu. Major festivals are also National Flag Day, and every household will hang the national flag. Swedes will also hang the national flag according to the calendar of naming day.
