And of course Norway has half the population (and half the work force) of Sweden.
They also have vastly different geographies/demographics.
When further compared to Norway, Sweden has:
A much higher percentage of the population who is 65+ years old, and...
Far more (and more active) ports/trade routes, and...
5x the rail/roadway infrastructure, and...
3x the number of airports, and...
5x the refugee population, and...
3x the number of "eldercare" facilities, and...
Funny how none of the pretty charts ever seem to explain/reveal the other potential factors to consider.
