Population in Sweden from 2010-2020, by gender
More births than deaths
One reason for the increasing population in Sweden is partly due to the fact that the number of babies that are born each year, are higher than the number of individuals that deceases.
More immigrants than emmigrants
However, the main reason for the increasing population in Sweden is not due to the higher number of births than deaths, but to the positive immigration flow that has been consistent over the last decade. In 2020, the migration balance in Sweden was around 34 thousand more individuals arriving than leaving.
