The 2023 results show that Sweden continues to compare well when it comes to the Swedish population’s skills. In all domains of skills – literacy, numeracy and problem solving – Sweden’s adult population achieves higher average scores compared to the average for participating OECD countries. At the same time, there are still major differences in the population eleven years on. A significant proportion of the population still lack skills.
