During the pandemic years 2020—2021, an unusually large number of people moved out of large cities while an unusually large number of people moved to small towns and commuting municipalities near medium-sized towns. Subsequently, the moving patterns have nearly returned to pre-pandemic norms.
A new report by Statistics Sweden describes the association between life expectancy and GDP per capita in European countries in the period 1995—1996 and 2021—2022. In general, life expectancy is lowest among countries with the lowest GDP per capita.
The years around the COVID-19 pandemic saw some unusually large fluctuations in life expectancy, especially among the foreign born and individuals with lower education. Since then, life expectancy has returned to the same trend as before the pandemic for the Swedish born and increased faster than before the pandemic among the foreign born in all educational groups.
A new report by Statistics Sweden describes mortality by occupation. For women mortality is lowest among “production and specialized services managers”, such as “IT managers” and highest among “forestry, aquaculture, and fishery workers”. For men, “managers in bank, finance and insurance services” have the lowest mortality whereas “recycling collectors, paper delivery and other service workers” have the highest mortality.
Life expectancy increased between 2012 and 2019 in all educational groups, while in 2020 life expectancy fell in all groups, especially among the foreign born. But in 2021 it increased again. For the Swedish born with post-secondary education, life expectancy was slightly higher in 2022 than 2019.
