Just out: The State of the Nordic Region

20 jun 2024

The State of the Nordic Region provides a status update in three key areas – demographics, the labour market and the economy – all of which encompass socio economic trends with a significant impact on the lives of everybody in the Nordic countries.

The Nordic countries regularly come out at the top of international rankings for quality of life, sustainability, gender equality, happiness and other measures. Although outsiders often view the ‘Nordic model’ with envy, our societies and economies are not without their problems and issues. This report summarises the current situation in the Nordic Region and points to challenges ahead.

Sweden holds the Presidency of the Nordic Council 2024 and the report was therefore presented during a meeting in Karlstad on 18 June. The Council of Ministers for Regional Policy (MR-Growth) focused on an attractive, competitive and robust Nordic region.
