Stemming the Superbug Tide in Sweden

Resistance proportions for eight antibiotic-bacterium pairs in Sweden have slightly increased in recent years, from 5% in 2005 to 5.5% in 2015, and could go up to 6.5% by 2030, should current trends in antibiotic consumption, population and economic growth continue into the future. Resistance proportions in Sweden were markedly lower than the OECD average in 2015 (17%).

Is the Last Mile the Longest? Economic Gains from Gender Equality in Nordic Countries

Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, commonly known as the Nordic countries, have been leaders in the development of modern family and gender policy, and the explicit promotion of gender equality at home, at work, and in public life. Today, on many measures, they boast some of the most gender-equal labour markets in the OECD.This report shows that improvements in gender equality have contributed considerably to economic growth in the Nordic countries. Increases in female employment alone are estimated to account for anywhere between roughly 0.05 and 0.40 percentage points to average annual GDP per capita growth – equivalent to 3 to 20% of total GDP per capita growth over the past 50 years or so, depending on the country.The Nordic countries are closer than most to achieving gender equality in the labour market. But the last mile may well prove to be the longest one. To make further progress, a continued assessment of the effectiveness of existing public policies and workplace practices is needed. Only with resolve and a continued focus can Nordic countries ensure that men and women contribute to their economies and societies in gender equal measure.

Selon l’OCDE, les progrès accomplis par la Suède dans la lutte contre la corruption transnationale sont insuffisants pour justifier une évaluation de Phase 4

Le prochain examen de la mise en œuvre par la Suède de la Convention anticorruption de l’OCDE, prévu en octobre 2018, a été repoussé à 2019. Cette décision s’explique par le fait que la Suède n’a pas adopté la législation requise pour donner suite aux recommandations en suspens visant à réformer ses lois relatives à la responsabilité des entreprises pour corruption d’agents publics étrangers.

OECD Territorial Reviews: Northern Sparsely Populated Areas

The northern sparsely populated areas (NSPA) of Finland, Norway and Sweden are becoming increasingly important to the geopolitical and economic interests of these countries and the European Union. These regions have unique geographical characteristics - low population density and a harsh climate - and face specific challenges due to an ageing population, long distances from markets, and high-cost land transport. However, high productivity growth is possible in low-density regions. This report sets out policy recommendations at cross-border, national and regional scales to enhance prosperity and well-being across the NSPA. This includes closer co-operation with national governments to address shared challenges and opportunities such as improving east-west transport connections and reducing occupational and skills barriers to labour mobility, and addressing barriers to business growth such as access to finance.
