Living conditions
The statistics cover children's families, separations among parents, joint and sole custody, geographic distance between children and parents, children with Swedish/foreign background and adoption. It also contains data on children's living conditions, parents' employment and economic conditions.
Living Conditions Survey of Children
The statistics show the living conditions of children aged 12-18 (10-18 before 2015). We ask children about their experiences at school, what they do in their spare time and about their well-being. The answers to these questions can also be linked to information from their parents, such as the parents' occupation, education and the family's living conditions.
Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (SILC)
The statistics describe living conditions for the Swedish population aged 16 or older in the following areas: health, economy, housing, employment, quality of life and trust in others, leisure, social relations, civic activities, security and work environment. The statistics are used, among other things, for comparisons between groups, comparisons over time and for international comparisons.
The statistics provide a picture of people's everyday life and show how the population spends its time on various activities, such as leisure and housework. The statistics show differences in the use of time among women and men, and how the use of time varies in different phases in life.

Population composition and development
In the statistics, demographic events such as births, deaths and migration for various groups in society are analysed. In addition, couple formation and separation is studied. Analyses also provide a basis for assumptions that underpin the annual population projections.
Population and housing census 1960–1990 (TPR)
Statistics show different aspects of society at the time of the census. There are statistics available here from FoB 75 to FoB 90 on the population's employment, household composition and accommodation. There are also descriptions of all variables from FoB 60 to FoB 90 with regard to definitions and value sets.
A population forecast for Sweden is carried out every year, broken down by age, sex and country of birth group. A more comprehensive analysis is carried out every third year of future population trends, where a main alternative and alternative projections are produced. Follow-ups and revisions are carried out for the years in between.
Population statistics show population size and population changes, such as the number of births, deaths, and immigration and emigration and are available by county, municipality, sex, age, civil status, country of birth and country of citizenship. The statistics are based on data on registered persons that the Swedish Tax Agency supplies to Statistics Sweden.
