About this listen

In today's bulletin, we examine the shifting political landscape as Timbro's Chief Economist Fredrik Kopsch distances himself from the Swedish right over labor migration policies. We also cover the significant expansion of Sweden's civil defense budget to 15 billion SEK and investigate the record-low birth rates affecting national population growth. Keywords: - Arbetskraftsinvandring: [Ar-bets-krafts-in-van-dring] Labor migration. This refers to the process of foreign workers moving to Sweden for employment, which faces new legislative challenges. - Totalförsvar: [Too-tahl-fuh-shvahr] Total defense. Sweden's comprehensive strategy that mandates all residents to contribute to national security during crises. - Födelsetal: [Fuh-del-seh-tahl] Birth rate. The number of births in a specific period, which has recently dropped to a historic low in Sweden.
